The Show: Fashion's Night Out!

What a treat it was to watch, The Show, Fashion's Night Out via the worldwideweb on www.cbs.com/FNO this past Tuesday evening. I loved adding my comments and then reading the comments from everyone else. Here's an image that shows my desk area where I viewed the show and image below shows some of the models that partcipated in the event. Till my next post, V.

Staying Connected!

 

A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail link from Danielle Armer, SAFW, as it relates to "Vogue & Black Faces". Here's the link to the review on Vogue having a magazine that's centered on Africa: http://fashionindie.com/did-conde-nast-reject-vogue-africa/?  Despite the incredible fashion and design options on the subject, I know that there's no way that it will happen. Dani, thanks for the link and best with the next phase of your career, V. Photo: fashionindie.com

SA Fashion Week and Blackberry Team Up!

As some of you know, I have been a huge fan of South African Fashion Week (SA Fashion Week) over the years. I've covered their collections in different publications because I wanted the global fashion industry to know about the incredible design talents from my homeland. But with their up-coming season, (March 25 - 27 Summer Collections - Summer Exhibiton) their collections will also be covered in a new, global arena courtesy of the Blackberry Smartphone!

According to one of the latest SA Fashion Week newsletters that I received, "Blackberry is proud to be the Offical Smartphone partner for SA Fashion Week. Blackberry has supplied the core SA Fashion Week team with Blackberry Smartphones to help them stay in touch and will also support the team with recently launched Blackberry Enterprise Server Express. This will ensure interactivity as well as effective and efficent communication leading up to and during this year's SA Fashion Week".

This collaboration reminds me of the "Logged On" article in the March 2010 issue of US Vogue (pages 514 - 524) in which the article zooms in on the new players in fashion. These are the bloggers that have a sense of style; a solid voice and by logging their style information via the keyboard, we have listened. I know that the SA Fashion Week and Blackberry collaboration will be an incredible outlet to the global fashion industry as we follow their style observations from SA Fashion Week via the world wide web. Can't wait, V. photos courtesy - safw & photobucket

Celebration of Global Fashion!

Fashion's Night Out sponsored by Vogue, CFDA and NYC & Company has drawn global interest. Fashionista's are wanting to know where they can buy the official "Fashion's Night Out" T-shirt and how they can get involve with the clothing drive. In Florida, I will have my own version of "Fashion's Night Out" this evening when I attend Clearwater Fashion Week to view the runway show that will highlight Craig Taylor; Kay Unger; Whitley Kros; Wren and Rebecca Minkoff just to name a few. Who knows, while I'm out this evening, I may be able to share my opinion on what makes us embrace the intrinsic world of high fashion. Photos: FNO
