Some of us set the date well in advance, some of us stumbled on it accidently, while the remainder of us missed it all together and played catch up this morning as newscasters, gossip columns and fashionistas far and wide commented and critiqued the yards of designer fabrics that strutted their stuff on the red carpet hoping to capture the attention of designers and seamstresses alike.
Molded, shaped and married into fashionable creations with both artistic precision and stylish flair, wonderful pieces of material hung elegantly on hanger like bodies, clung embracingly around hour glass figures and draped sensuously on glamorous forms that struck a pose every two minutes for millions of Americans to note and admire.
The Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, aka
SAG Awards, may be embraced as one of the most prestigious award ceremonies in the entertainment industry, an opportunity for actors and actresses alike to be honored and acknowledged by their own peers on their respective crafts.
For people like us who love creating and working with fabric, it is more importantly, an opportunity for us to do the same. Watching the garments parade down the royal red carpet allows us to view and RE-view the wonderful end results of other beautifully imaginative artists and crafters.
Blue seemed to be a popular color this year, gracing such notable actresses as Kyra Sedgwick and newcomer Niki Blonsky. Kyra adorned cobalt colored silk crepe with chantilly lace, while Niki embraced her more fluid side in royal blue taffeta.
A hot shade of pink silk organza graced January Jones from top to bottom, as the darker side of green poured lavishly into layers of elegant silk and
satin material that shined vibrantly on Diane Lane.
It never ceases to amaze me the way we bring life to this amazing palate of beautiful color and fabric…or is it the other way around?
With so many textures, shades, patterns and prints to choose from, the sky is the limit to your creative imagination.
