It was such a treat to see SO MANY of you guys in person (our showroom had to have been over capacity) . . . We are grateful to everyone who made this event a reality, from our own dedicated team, to Tomas and Hitomi and their talented teams, to the Las Vegas Market center, and AIFD, and every single one of you who showed up.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be sharing more pictures from the event in the coming week or two; but for now, a look at some of the beautiful creations from Hitomi and Tomas and all the designers who worked tirelessly alongside them to make this event a reality. We hope you all had a wonderful time, and for everyone who wasn&#8217;t able to be there, you were missed!<\/p>\n<p>First a few from Tomas De Bruyne&#8217;s fantastic presentation at the AIFD Symposium Monday morning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
