There was fashion, fashion and more fashion all around the Big Apple from February 11th through the 18th! It was indeed that time again. You know, it’s just a tiny event called NY Fashion Week where celebrities, brand name designers and other notable individuals come to mingle and check out the latest fashion collections.
Actually, NY Fashion week really isn't a small event in any form. There are runway shows that take place all over Manhattan and large, medium and small venues. There were shows at Lincoln Center, Trump Plaza, The Waldorf Astoria and various other trendy locations around the city showcasing familiar designers along with some up and coming artists.
EMERGE! Is a first-annual runway fashion show which took place during NYC Fashion Week. It was presented by Dionne Williams of D. Williams PR Firm and Monique Tatum of Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR. The by-invite-only event featured brilliantly talented emerging designers while honoring the elite within the Fashion Industry.
The event was held at a venue located right in the heart of the Fashion District at Sun West Studios 450 West 31st Street in New York City. It is a premiere spot for fabulous events and a perfect for up and coming fashion designers to have their work shown.
