i don’t think i need to repeat that i love the SF fashion scene, and am constantly inspired by all of these people, but i will. repeat.
fashion is expression, of us and our world.
fashion art, and should be treated as such.
models are performers and artists. if you think it doesn’t take work and talent, you’re wrong.
designers are artists who create and fulfill and reflect and inspire.
san francisco has mad talent, expressed in a san francisco way. it is not new york or milan. it is independent, it is san francisco, and deserves this recognition that Del Geronimo has poured his heart into creating for us. if you know a talented SF fashion designer/model/MUA/producer and wonder why they weren’t represented here, next year: NOMINATE. support. show us what you got.
more personal thoughts/words sold separately in the future.

I see your name everywhere, like facebook, linked-in,etc. I thought, “How do I know her?” You must be a friend of a friend or something. Or maybe I worked in fashion with you? I used to film models & edit video for stuff? Its all good. I just had to ask!!!
