More Backstage from Varela LaMar at FWP

Another Look Behind the Curtain

Amanda Isabel Diaz Palacios 

For many in the audience at Fashion Week Panama 2012, it is enough to see the beauty and artistry displayed on the runway.  In fact, that end result is the culmination of hundreds of hours of collaboration among designers, stylists, make-up artists, models and assistants.    A fashion event does not simply spring from nothing on the runway.   

For those whose curiosity is piqued, who wonder what happens behind the curtain....her is another peek.   And these last frantic moments are only a tiny part of the entire process.
