A large part of Austin Fashion Week is the Mash Up Teams!
A team consisting of a photographer, model, hair stylist, makeup artist, and designer team up to create a fashion concept and submit the best photo they can imagine. The submissions are then posted on line where the public may vote for their favorites. The winner is coined "Peole's Choice" and the phoos are also judged by a celebrity photographer, Timothy White, for the "Best Photo" category.
Here are the 2012 Submissions

One of each of my teams were in the top 5 nominees for both categories. Team Calypso was nominated by Timothy White for Best Photo and Fashion with a Cause was in the top 5 nominees for Peoples Choice.
While I did not win, I was very proud to have been nominated and to be a part of such great teams!
