Before the models stepped onto the runway in the designers’ latest collections, they took care of hair and make up in the dressing room.

Backstage, members of 3W Management Inc., Joseph Wade, Maritza Cruz, Kayla Nicole, and CT Fashion Coordinator Nyomie Greco also kept the wheels from spinning off the fashion junket. Meanwhile Erykah Kane handled makeup duties for the models, as did Carla Erlington.
