How Prey’s Amber Midthunder Got Ready for the Coach Show

Every event starts with glam—it eases you into what’s to come. When I was in school, I wanted to be a makeup artist. I love the way hair and makeup is such a huge part of expression and sculpting the way I feel when I show up to a new place.

This dress is gorgeous. During my fitting for the show, I tried on several outfits; when we got to this one, it was by far the favorite.

Cute, classy, and edgy at the same time. Getting to collaborate with the Coach team on this look was such a treat.

Last-minute glam before heading out!

I love that moment when glam is finished and the dress goes on—it’s the first time you get to see it all together and it starts to finally feel real.

The Coach show is particularly exciting for me because when I was a kid, my mom always had Coach purses. It felt like a staple of hers, and it was something I definitely looked up to and coveted.

Perhaps subconsciously, Coach was also my first designer bag. It felt like the beginning of my womanhood.

All ready and on the way! Off to the Coach show…
