Toy Fair Day 3 - Guest Blogger Ashley Smith

Getting ready for the Big Event


Day 3 at Toy Fair quickly gained ground as my favorite day in NYC because of our exclusive afternoon event with guest student designers Whitney Mattson and Hannah Arrington from FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology). With all their design expertise, they blew away buyers and exhibitors alike with their innovative designs and creations. The competition was fierce, with throngs of people cheering them on, yet they both came out winners, tying for first (of course).

Hannah and Kari consulting over a particular lovely design.

The girls hard at work under tight pressure.


Connie looking great keeping our contest going...

Still friends even though it was quite cut-throat.

Kari and I decided to join in on the fun, giving the girls a chance to design a winning look on live models... We are changing our age groups from tp 5-32... See the wonderful results below:

Kari won votes for the best outfit, yet I think it was her good looks and winning charm that won them over because mine was clearly the best...

Day 4 finishes the week tomorrow. Check back for our Toy Fair wrap up!
