| Mesha celebrating the end of her first show. |
On May 16 after the rain cleared,
JCJ&Co put on their first production “Hollywood Secrets” at Club Aqua. Jamesha
Johnson and her team worked hard and diligently to put together an
upscale event that celebrated her graduation from Virginia State University,
Haus of Klyde’s Summer/Spring Collection, Shop Runway Couture, and new up and
coming models.

The show was hosted by B Sounds the
ADHD Bandit and he kept the energy of the crowd up and ready for the show.
Unlike any other host I ever seen B Sounds was very personable with the crowd
making the upbeat and fun filled. The show was opened by artist Woodz whose
music kept not only B Sounds but the audience as well moving across the
room. Word says he will be seen on BET’s
106&Park in a few weeks, can’t wait to see what the future has for him.

Mesha started with her search
for models early, using social networking, and word of mouth to find the
perfect set of models. These models were seen on the flyer and were also used
for promotion, having them go out and pass out flyers. She found models that
were unique and humble, although this were most of their first show there was a
high level of professionalism. The models bought life to the theme of the show, and bought energy and charisma to the runway. Of course my model Grace was seen on the runway with
other runway divas such as, Tatyanna, and Natalie and new male models Nikkolai
and Kasan. I credit the rest of the models on doing a great job.

The fashion seen in “Hollywood
Secrets” directly reflected the theme and the audience of the show. JCJ&Co’s
sexy women’s wear included lace crop tops, form fitting dress, and her men’s
bowties. Haus of Klyde showed a mixture of his couture evening wear, and sexy
cocktail dress, and along with his men’s wear styled and inspired by the 20’s.
Shop Runway Couture showed a variety a RTW pieces in an array of trending
textiles. The models also brought it with the own all black, and popping accessories.

My overall experience with
JCJ&Co first fashion was both positive and relaxed. Never have I ever in my
life as a designer trust someone to choose my song, and my line up for a show,
but I knew Mesha would choose the perfect mix, and the perfect line up of
models. Throughout the show Mesha was holding down the backstage, and keeping
up with the high energy of the audience. I Look forward to being a part of
every show produced by JCJ&Co.

Ced hits the runway like any male model should with power and perfection. He was seen in my collection at Vsu's Spring Fling Fashion Show. Ced was also seen in the 3rd segment of Photo Shoot Fridays. 
Amber appeared In the first segment of Photo Shoot Fridays and rocked it. The hardcore rebel comes off very soft on camera and contrasted well..Almost like 
She also worked well with Grace's dominant personality on camera, like a male model..
Skittles appeared in the 3rd Friday of Photo shoot Fridays, but was perfect for the look the photographer wanted. Jasmines strong bone structure and wide set eyes made her a classic beauty, and with the smallest amount of effort could sell it in a photo. 
Jasmine was also seen in the opening of my collection for Vsu's Spring Fling Fashion Show. Shes is looking forward to career in modeling and so am I.. For she will always will grace my runway.
