NuLu

Hope all is well. The semester is coming to a end and if you’re going to be in Louisville this summer this post might interest you. I went to an event called trolly hop a couple weekends ago and couldn’t believe how much fun I had. The First Friday Trolley Hop is an art show, tourist attraction, street party and celebration of downtown Louisville that brings new visitors and new life to the Main and Market streets. The Trolley Hop takes place on the first Friday of each month from 5-11pm, rain or shine. Most of the galleries close around 9 pm but the restaurants, clubs, and shops stay open later and the trolleys runs to about 11 pm. I went with a friend who was looking for art and ended up seeing a lot of old friends, cool art, free wine tastings, took funny photos, caught live music and had free food. This event takes place in a new part of town called “NuLu”. The East Market District, also referred to as NuLu, is now best known for its art galleries, specialty stores, antique shops and a growing number of local, upscale restaurants. The term “NuLu” is a portmanteau meaning “New Louisville”. As home to two LEED® certified commercial buildings, many historic restoration projects, as well as several restaurants offering organic and locally sourced ingredients, NuLu has emerged with a culture of sustainability.

Fashion Shoot

Hello Everyone, I hope you all had an excellent and exciting weekend. I also hope you all enjoyed my last post and had a great V-Day. This week I want to talk about something I am working on this week that might interest some of those fashion bloggers out there. I arranged a photo shoot to take place today in a Grotto by my apartment complex. I found this aspiring photographer through a friend at U of L and asked two friends to be models. I have to make a creative for a company or brand for my stratigic communication class. I decided to go with one of my friends up and coming clothing line M.D.F. or My Divine Family. This clothing line features a lot of screen printing of t-shirts, crew sweatshirts, and hoodies and a little vintage wear too. He eventually wants to have his apparel in local shops and boutiques around the city so I thought I could compile a look book for him. A look book is a portfolio of models wearing your apparel and shows a assemble of styles you put together. I thought a look book would be perfect for him so he could show different store owners or merchandisers his clothes and how well he styles without him actually carring apparel with him. I like to think I’m killing two birds with one stone and having a little fun too. I will keep you all posted on the look book and how the photo shoot went. Have a great week and thanks again for taking time out of your day to keep in touch with DwaynessWorld! Peace.

Here’s a couple of pictures off what the look book would look like inside and out.
