Last week, I attended a fashion show on the rooftop of the MDA City Apartments. The view was amazing, the company was great and it was all for a good cause! The event doubled as a fundraiser for the Sankofa Theatre Company and a pre-pride party, in celebration of equality and gay rights.

As usual, the lovely Amber McCulloch of Style Plus Curves joined me. We enjoyed sangria, tasty appetizers and a little bit of shopping while we eagerly awaited the start of the show. My favorite purchase of the evening was a foxy pair of feather earrings, hand-made by Haut Statement. I cannot wait to rock them with some black heels and a burgundy dress to match!

Eight, local designers showcased a selection of their pieces in the runway show. Gabrielle Zwick was a personal favorite of mine with her 1940’s-inspired pieces.

I was pleasantly surprised by the large selection of up-cycled, vintage designers as well. Venus Meets Vintage, Rehbd Vintage, and LeThrift showcased rehabbed vintage pieces that captured a specific era, while still exuding a modern appeal.

The crowd of people that attended made it obvious that the event was quite a success!

I certainly enjoyed the evening and I look forward to the possibility of attending again next year.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Pride!
