Welcome to my life as fashion

I'm Summer Edwards. I'm a twenty-something year old chick with a lot on my plate. A friend of mine says I'm a super hero! Ha ha! I work in an office (my Clark Kent/Peter Parker image, if you will) I also do hair and makeup for photo shoots, fashion shows, and events. In addition to that, I launched a fashion line. I also talk a lot about a nutrition company because their products make me feel AWESOME!!!! I'm a jack of all trades and I like to stay busy. If it relates to the fashion industry in any way, I'm interested in it!

Austin Fashion Week 2012

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.
