 Nick Verreos and his "Memphis Belles", his models for the Macy's "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show, Macy's Wolfchase Galleria Memphis Tennessee





This past weekend, I had the pleasure of hosting my second "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show for Macy's. Last month I was in Indianapolis and this time, I went to Memphis Tennessee! Before you even ask, I didn't really get to see much of Memphis since these trips for me are very in-and-out so no tours of Graceland this time. I flew in on Friday--arrived at around 10PM on Friday night--then checked into my hotel, walked across the street to have a late dinner at The Fox and Hound Bar & Grill. They're open until late thank goodness--and they were PACKED since it was a Friday night and everyone was watching basketball--except me--Oh, and for some reason, you can still smoke there...I felt like I was in Las Vegas!







The following day, I got ready to host the fun Macy's event and fashion show at the Wolfchase Galleria. The "Five Spring Essentials" fashion shows/events are a way to showcase the newest trends and looks for Spring 2013 at Macy's and give "Style Bullet Points" to the audience of items they should have in their closet to update their wardrobe and be on trend.

 Nick Verreos Hosts Macy's Wolfchase Galleria Memphis "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show



I was very excited about hosting at the Macy's Wolfchase Galleria, especially once I found out that the fashion show/stage would be set up IN THE MALL itself, right at the Ground Floor entrance to Macy's. Usually these events are held inside the stores themselves--within one of the departments--but for this one, I would be right in the shopping center--for EVERYONE to see.



The Fashion Show:

For the Macy's  "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show--which was styled by the wonderful Robin Overman (I've worked with her before on other Macy's events and she's always FABULOUS, and great to work with!), I showed various Spring 2013 trends on beautiful models from the Colors Talent Agency of Memphis. The trends included Lace, Collector's Jackets, Pullovers, Palazzo Pants, Studded Wedges (shoes), Bright Colors/Neon and printed denim. Here are some more pics of the fashion show and outfits shown:

The "Miss" Pose--One of the models was a former "Miss Tennessee USA" (!), the gorgeous Angela Johnson, "Miss Tennessee USA 1991". Now, you know I LOVE me some beauty pageants and beauty pageant girls so I was beyond excited to grab Miss Angela and ask her to "Strike a Pageant Pose" with me right there on the runway stage. Needless to say, we did it in 1.2 seconds!

 Memphis Goodies--Dinstuhl's Chocolate and Candy Goody Basket



Once I was done, I was "escorted" to my Green Room where to my AMAZEMENT, the Macy's Wolfchase Galleria store manager, Ruth Lofton, had gotten me a Goodie Basket from Dinstuhl's--a Memphis Tennessee Landmark that specializes in delicious chocolates and candies since 1902. I almost started doing the "Pageant Hands-covering-the-mouth" OMG when she gave that beautiful basket to me as a "Thank You". And with that, I had to say Good Bye to my short time in Memphis and catch my flight back to LA. Oh, and in case you're wondering, the ENTIRE basket fit in my carry-on! Yeayyyyy!!!!
