The first two photos are two Teresita's close-ups from the pages below. Here you can see all the work there's behind a cat-walk making sure the dresses look well on models.

Behind a fashion show are all the people who work on making the dress, cutting and sewing the seams, the hairstylists and makeup artists, and then, when the models try on the clothes, there are those who use thread and needle to shape the details so that the dress looks great for the special occasion.
