Marimekko is a Finnish company based in Helsinki that has made important contributions to fashion, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. They are particularly noted for brightly-colored printed fabrics and simple styles, used both in women's garments and in home furnishings.

My friend Alan and his classmates presented their final projects in a show at the New York Fashion Academy in Seattle (not New York). This is one of Alan's creations, modeled by his wife, Cybele .
Photographing runway models is hard! Even if you shoot them when they stop to "strike a pose," a hand can be blurry, or the lighting could be bad, or you could get the back of somebody's head in the shot, depending on where you are shooting from. In addition to getting good shots of the models, you of course want to make the clothes look good, too. Out of over 200 photos I took, only a handful are decent.
Fortunately, it is a hobby, and no one was paying me to take photos at this event. But it was lots of fun.
Also fortunately, I got a couple good shots of the gorgeous Cybele.
