Beauty In Bloom 2018 – Milwaukee Art Museum

Beauty In Bloom 2018

What an exciting weekend! In addition to participating in Art In Bloom, I designed an ensemble for the Beauty In Bloom Floral Fashion Show! It was absolutely exhilarating to see my fashion design idea come to fruition!
A lot of planning and hard work went into this, including the mechanical fluttering of the butterfly wings. I have my brother Tom Bialzik’s engineering skills to thank for that!
Both my brother and my sister Pamela Reed helped me for hours making “tufts” of greenery to look like feathers. They are professionals now! Pam was by my side every step of the way with gluing flowers and leaves to the dress and wings, as well as helping with the model’s hair, since she is so talented at styling! My sister in law, Cindy Bialzik was very helpful backstage, prepping flowers and expediting tasks!
This was the first runway fashion show for my gorgeous model, Brittney Hillmer. She certainly was a beautiful butterfly!
Thanks to Gary Cline’s expertise, this video is created to capture some of the highlights backstage and the runway show. Thank you Plum Media!
I also want to thank my mom, Sue Joplin, and Norman Joplin, for their sponsorship. I am blessed to have such a network of support. Words cannot express my gratitude!!
