"The word iiJin means "precious" in Korean and each iiJin piece is like a fashionable and valuable work of art."- iiJin
 


Opportunities come up and you've gotta grab it!
I had the chance to help out at iiJin's FW Fashion show at The Avalon in Hollywood.
(http://avalonhollywood.com/)
By the way, what a beautiful and artistic ambiance Avalon has.


Arrived at The Avalon at 12pm
Helped unload tons and tons of beautiful shoes.

iiJin is famous for the invisible wedge shoes!!

Had pizza for lunch and got ready for the craziness of setting up the show.
Jodi Freeman, our wonderful stylist directed us to set up the back stage dressing room.


We lined up each outfit by models and then by numbers along with their shoes.
It is never easy when a model has three looks, especially when they are styled to wear sneakers with lots of lacing!
Let's not talk about when there are only 3 models walking in between her looks, whew!
Very intense back stage dressing.
 
iiJin concealed wedge sneaker with quilted design.
Available in Silver and Black
$170
 
After the two hour-long rehearsal- The Love Revolution
Featuring Debbie Gibson (Recording Artist), Layla Kayleigh Covino(MTV  Host) and
Brian Friedman(Celebrity Choreographer) in iiJin's new collection.
Then we have the hair and make-up team to pamper our lovely models fabulous :D
 
8:00pm, media and the talents started coming in
When the guests enjoy their cocktails by Russian Standards, we are dressing our models into their first look.
 
((While we were waiting, we snapped some pics

Jennifer Lee
Dancer-Model!!!
Really loved her moves 
Show went by so fast!!
The changes went pretty well and my model still had a little time to breath before it is her turn to walk again. :)
Good job, Aryanne.
