Take a peek at how she channeled the grace and elegance of fairytales through this process that taught her “invaluable organizational skills.”
Lainey shared with us, “Not only did I have to create a timeline to get all six looks created in a timely manner, but I needed to consider all of the other elements of running a fashion show from a photoshoot to finding a makeup artist to model rehearsals.
