Nordstrom Designer Preview 2009, Portland

The runway was a flourish of Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Versace, and more. There's no other feeling like the pumping of adrenaline inside me as each model makes her way down the runway in glamorous outfits. Sometimes I hold my breath in anticipation of the next set. Other times, my breath is taken away by an exquisite gown.
