LD Fashion Week provided a professional styling team for every designer, handling model fittings so designers didn't have to manage every last detail themselves backstage, and didn't have to worry about a piece being styled wrong. Eleanor sat in the audience now. Dylan beside her. This time, she'd only brought him. Covering her own costs meant she couldn't justify flying the whole studio out Dylan came along specifically because she might need an extra set of hands for the heavier logistics. Cassandra sat in the audience too, VIP section, right beside Julian. Even in the dim house lighting, Eleanor could make out Cassandra laughing with him, completely at ease, radiating confidence. Eleanor found herself curious, despite everything, what Cassandra's actual theme would turn out to be.
