"A Fashionable Christmas Story" Fashion Event/Featured Designer/Retailer StilletosPlus

I always enjoy covering fashion shows that have a collective community purpose other than fashion. Raising awareness through fashion,  coupled with an awesome presentation, Shelley Simpson, of Simpson Events does this very well. This years theme and title, "A Fashionable Christmas Story", is a take on the "Christmas Story", complete with "scenes" of various ready to wear fashions supplied by StiletosPlus Fashions, Newark, NJ.  Raising awareness about Hearing loss, support and care, the Hearing Loss Association of America, Essex County Chapter, was in attendance, represented by chapter president, Latsha Porter-Vaughan.

Fashion Avenue News, Fashion On The Hudson 7

Designer: Anita Rivers
Designer: Anita Rivers
 Fashion Avenue News held their 7th annual "Fashion on the Hudson" fashion event, July 11th, 2015
at the Riverbank Park. I
expected something grand, as only one should with a fashion event
produced by Ms. Sophia Davis. This was my first time covering the show, and I heard great things
about it, but, to actually comprehend the scale of it all, you really have to experience it. It is audaciously grand. Over 20 designers showcasing in the cavernous cultural center within the Riverbank State Park, well over 100 models made their way through a runway that covered the entire venue, seating filled to capacity, if you came late, you were not guaranteed a seat,(but of course you were accommodated) Press, bloggers, photographers, videographers, celebrities, fashion dignitaries, all were in attendance. The production was on point, and you wouldn't expect anything less, given the fact that Ms. Davis and her crew were hands on and in control, from beginning to end. All in all a spectacular fashion event, that I look forward to covering again. Special thanks and mention to Mr. Allison Brown, who coordinated the press and media professionals, and a fellow photographer as well.

Below are images from the show:

The Talented and Eco-Conscious Fashion Designer, Valentina Oppezzo


Click on the picture to hear the interview.

The Oppezzo Collection at the ACFW in February

Originally a fashion photographer, Valentina Oppezzo captured the fashion creations of designers both here, and in her native Italy.However, a few years back, lifestyle and environmental cause, ignited a change for her. No longer did she as a vegetarian, and eco conscious thinker, wanted or had the desire to photograph fashion designs utilizing animal based materials, as matter of fact, she evolved a step further, She began to design her own clothing, purses and accessories line, and as the saying goes, "a star was born". Colorful and urban chic, awesome detail, with materials all non organic, Valentina is a new force in the fashion world, and a nice and gracious person.  I had the pleasure of capturing her collection at the Atlantic City Fashion Week F/W 2015, and also at the Angelman Syndrome FDC Collections Fashion Showcase
in NYC, where I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with her.  Bravo Valentina!! Click on the pictures to see the entire Oppezzo collections.

"Life's a Label" Fashion Show, Empiral Fashionista Group

By Tony Taylor
I had the pleasure of shooting the "Life's a Label" fashion event, held may 16th,  at the TheatreLab,
357 w36th street, NYC. This was also a charity event benefit to raise funds and awareness about the American Heart Association. The Empiral Group, is headed up by the  husband and wife team of
Christopher Steele and Appollonia Rankin-Steele. A venue just right for the show, the event did not disappoint, and showcased the fashion design talents of 5 emerging designers. A poignant moment came when Empiral's Appollonia Rankin-Steele, herself a high fashion model, gave a very personal, and "heartfelt"speech on the show benefiting the American Heart Association, and her, holding back tears gracefully, explaining her connection. I got a little emotional myself, because I could also relate to why she felt so deeply about the organization, and  the cause. It was a full house of fashion industry movers and shakers, media, bloggers, etc,  An amazing event, with amazing fashions.
