How Being Bold Got My Jewelry in a Fashion Show

During Spring of 2006 I transitioned my love of jewelry making from a hobby to a business. During this same season I attended an Ashton Hall fashion show, and I was impressed with his fashions.

I noticed that the female models did not have jewelry on to complement his designs. I approached him to share my views on his fashions and later followed-up with a meeting with him, to propose his models wearing my jewelry designs to complement his new clothing line.

Adorned in jewelry created by Sarah Faison, an Ashton Hall model pauses for the rapidly clicking cameras at the New York City fashion show.

We scheduled a meeting at Ashton Hall’s NYC showroom and discussed his upcoming line, and he provided me with the Pantone colors for his Fall NYC Fashion Show.

We worked together and I had the great opportunity to see my designs on NYC models as they walked the catwalk with many fashion photographers snapping away.

Another model comes down the catwalk at the Ashton Hall NYC fashion show, wearing Sarah's jewelry.

This was a wonderful experience and provided me with great exposure. Being bold and approaching the designer paid off for me.
