NEW YORK PALACE-The Drawing Room
Nina Garcia, Katie Holmes, Charlotte Ronson-Judges with tough choices!
A fairy tale setting for a fairy tale -re-telling-thank-you JC Penney for a lovely way to spend a morning.
Attendees all-admired the cool as a cucumber composure of ten talented graduate students in the Fashion School of Kent State University ---who had under two hours to conjure up a glam outfit-inspired by this wondrous Cinderella ballgown-that was straight off the live-action film's set (eta March 2015)---in homage of the store's collaboration with this modern day take on the timeless tale.
