Visible Changes master stylist, Frankie Olivares collaborated with the manager of the Barton Creek location to plan their Austin Fashion Week event. Frankie began taking in different thoughts of how this would come to life, and while listening to modern tribal influenced music, it generated a deep thought of rags, and beautiful tribal features with interesting details. Cultural designs of dreads, clean frizz, pompadours and expressive tribal/egyptian make up as well.
“I feel that this “architexture” of style would introduce audiences to appreciate the diversity of different cultural expressions combined into one. What they do not know is the aestheticness of this …endeavor, I designed this “architexture” style by combining three styles to allow audiences to appreciate and control their own type of hair during these times of humidity.”
Makeup and designs were by Frankie Olivares, Stephanie Valverde, and Amber Rankin. The tribal theme clothes were feminine and with a little edginess and captured just the right amount of sexiness.
Stylists included, Highland Location: Kenya, Lauren, Ellie, Kate, Mandy, and Alida.
Barton Creek: Vicki, Brenna, Fideluisa, Laura, and Sylvester.
The jewelry designer was Beth McElhaney.
