Shining the Spotlight on Southern Designers
In the words of iconic fashion designer, Coco Chanel; “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” That couldn’t be a more appropriate descriptor for New Orleans Fashion Week recent fashion fête – Taste of Fashion Week. The 3-day event culminated with an evening of runway shows featuring a variety of fashion aesthetics from street-styles to fantasy. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy ‘Embrace the Culture’ the event took place in historic Gallier Hall where over 15 designers presented their collections. The goal was to shine the spotlight on local fashion designers; giving them a platform to showcase their creative talent. Mission accomplished.
