Top tier stylist and fashion mavens alike need to look no further than Kevan Hall’s SS24 collection for red carpet and entrance making numbers! The critically acclaimed celebrity designer’s show, presentation style yesterday hackened back to the glorious days of haute couture fashion shows, to a time when presentations were intimate and visibly close to the seated clients. To a point where you could literally see the intricate stitching and detailing upclose as the graceful and elegant models walked by. Think Parisienne fashion salons, stately rooms, soft background music, et.al.

Kevan Hall had the full support of other world renowned designers in attendance, such as the Byron Lars and Aaron Potts, and the legendary actor and his beloved brother Vondie Curtis-Hall.

The collection, featuring luxurious brocade, delicate French lace, Dutch satin, free flowing silks and chiffon, was elegant, chic and stupendous!

The Project Runway alum Malan Breton was a crowd favorite last night at NYFW, hosted by EPN where he presented his FW 23 collection in a financial district hall packed with his nearest and dearest. The medley of selections ranged from romantic ball gowns befitting of a fairytale princess to edgy styles Rockstars could easily glide into at a concert. Models included legendary supermodels Irina Pantaeva to socialites and philanthropists such as Jean Shafiroff and Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin. Such is the influence and power of Malan Breton to tap retired model and close friend of his, Camilla Barungi to walk his show! Shortly after talking his bows and humbly thanking his guests by walking through the aisles, he couldn’t hold back his emotions. Swelled with gratitude and joy, a few tears escaped his eyes backstage. Whew! One and done Malan, you survived it. Bravo! We look forward to seeing his next collection.
