Last night, at the second day of the San Francisco Fashion Week, the Grandé-Dame of models, Ms. Janice Dickinson was on hand to view the collections as well as play guest host to the shows and to hand out an award. To open the evening 15 young and upcoming designers showed off 3-6 looks. Janice was on hand to handout the award for the Best Emerging Designer, which was give to Emily Yao for her S&M and Couture inspired designs.

That’s not the only reason why Janice was on hand. Pre-Show I ran into Janice backstage and watched as a young model strutted for her in hopes for some friendly advice. Janice promptly replied, “Keep working on it”. Afterwards I talked to Janice briefly about her new modeling agency and the new reality show based on her endeavor. She was also on hand to help promote three of her models who were walking the runway for the Emerging Designers show. After I asked for a quick shot of her wearing one Colleen Quen’s velvet and moire looks from the night before, Janice was swarmed by onlookers asking to get their picture taken with her.

After the Emerging Designer show, I ran into the Janice Dickinson’s three models as they waited to leave. I asked them a few questions about their background and their plans for the upcoming fashion weeks. BRITTANY Picozzi, (Janice’s Shinning Star) the fiery red-head is only 16 and was discovered back home in Las Vegas. The JD modeling team is sending her off to Paris for S/S collection in October. CRYSTAL Truehart (with her stunning jaw line and doe-like eyes) was discovered at a Model call the JD Agency did in Santa Monica but is originally from Southhampton, MA. Crystal is set to head off to NY Fashion Week early next month. Then there is PIERCE Ross (Janice’s Runway Queen – she can work a runway! I’ve seen it) who hail from Las Vegas as well.

Reviews of collection will be posted once Fashion Week is over which is this Saturday. Thanks for being patient.
