Models who were supposed to be wearing the designer's gowns are also missing money.
-- A dress designer suspects his debut on a Chicago runway was all a ruse – after he paid thousands of dollars to book a fashion show that never happened.
In fall 2022, Blanco started to send Lee money via PayPal transactions. Blanco sent thousands of dollars for Lee to create a glamorous showcase under Blanco's stage name – Rami Rabioso.Why was having a fashion show such a big deal for Blanco? It was about exposure.Models traveled to Chicago from around the country for a chance to be seen.Blanco fitted the models into his gowns a day before the show. But none of the 40 hand-sewn gowns ever made it to the catwalk.
That seems to be an understatement. For starters, CBS 2 discovered the event space about which Lee texted the team – and for which Lee was given money to reserve – was never even secured. "With the hotel, here's the thing," Lee said."Some people are saying that it was for their entire stay - their entire stay - and it was not."
