Angie Bacskocky's website...
www.angiebacskocky.com
If you enjoyed the post yesterday, check this out. Her new collection plus some sale items. In fact, I purchased an oxblood leather vest for $65.00!!!
I can also speak about her handbags, which several of my friends carry. The quality and colors of the leather are beautiful and it's the kind of leather that gets better as time passes. I don't own one yet, but it's on my wish list!

I attended VAFW in Williamsburg at College of William and Mary on October 12, 2013. My intention was to take photos of Angie's collection and post them to this blog. Unfortunately, the brand new battery in my camera died and I was unable to do that. So I have pieced together some of Angie's website pictures as well as two pictures from Style Magazine.
Next time, I will bring a spare battery!!!
VAFW/ The day the camera (battery) died...
Coming through drizzles and drips of rain, I arrived at Trinkle Hall at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg on the afternoon of Saturday, October 12. It's Virginia Fashion Week.
I am beginning to think I'm cursed. Something seems to go wrong with my camera each time that it's really important that nothing go wrong with it. I took pictures for two hours. At which point, the battery on my Canon Rebel died. I had no back-up plan as it was a brand new battery.
I came to see the Martyr Collection by Angie Bacskosky from Richmond, Virginia. I have known Angie for four years, since we both started working at Anthropologie. She possesses incredible talents and I was excited to see her newest venture in design. See tomorrow's post.
But enough whining, time to make lemonade out of lemons.
The following is a list of the collections I viewed sans camera:
Mikasa La'Charles: Metallics. Final black dress was knockout!
JB5: Swimwear by Iris and Juan from Puerto Rico. Quite a cheeky set!
Brehon Williams: 24 year old from Chesapeake, Va. The lines were clean, simple and elegant.
Gwendolyn Wilson: From Richmond, Va. and recently showed at NYFW Couture. Lots of sparkle.
Azi Blas: Shimmer, metallic, ruffles, satin, shearling and feathers.
Jennifer Carpenter: From Richmond, Va. Bright color blocking, hi-lo hemlines, cut outs.
Carlyle Williams: Men's and women's clothing. Hats, coats, jackets piped in contrasting color, scarves, pops of plaid.
Corrinne Monique: Asymmetry, jagged hemlines, lots of color, tropical influence.
Here are some of the photographs from the collections I viewed:
