The true spirit of the night seems lost on so many. The Capital Fashion Awards were for local (or former local ) fashionistas being honored by peers and presenting for an intimate audience a great show and amazing Friday night out...No cash prizes, scholarships, modeling contracts, runway futures were damaged by any of the nominations or winners who were simply HONORED for contribution. The ballots were so secretive that half of the winners were not even in attendance in point of fact. We apologize to any who did not enjoy the show...We loved all of the designers, the banter of the celebrity guests, and most of all the audience that cheered for Sacramento as much as they did for New York, LA, or the next martini. - Brian Bassett, The Park Ultra Lounge
