Fashionista!

Rosemary Umetsu with stylist Cameron Shahbazi and two models wearing her creations
Rosemary Umetsu, a fashion designer and an old friend of Gail's, hosted a fabulous event at the Glenn Gould Studio this afternoon, called Fashionista!, combining music by the Amici Chamber Ensemble with a showing of her latest creations. Rosemary specializes in gorgeous gowns for opera singers and other stage performers.

Wearing one of her gowns was violin soloist Lara St. John, performing Chausson's Concerto in D with the Ensemble to a standing ovation.

Lara and my daughter Heather became friends when we were both artistic presenters at ideaCity in 2003.

I was charmed by the ladies, enthralled with Rosemary's creations and swept away by the music!
