Zcrave, the fun and eclectic brand, delivered a rather cozy coterie of creations for their SS24 collection yesterday. The usually unconventional show style of the brand did not disappoint with their trademark fulfilled soiree, with celebrity DJ Kevin Aviance pulling double duty opening the show and spinning hits at the turn table! An undeniable fun was had by all… including our editor Tinu, who just happened to turn up wearing the iconic suit also spotted on the models!

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! Exceptionally and effortlessly delivered by very graceful and poised fashion swan lake like models, which makes it all the more appealing and alluring. They brought it to life, showed the versatility and fluidity of his creations!

A video of the collection can be seen posted on instagram.

Literally in every word, as it states… The Rising Stars! Fashion luminaries paid homage to emerging designers and innovators in the fashion and beauty world today. Award winning fashion icon, Patricia Field was the keynote speaker. She offered sound and profound advice to everyone in the room. Other established designers/personalities such as Laquan Smith, Nigel Barker, et.al, were on hand as presenters. It’s not everyday you see established governing body of any field give a fairly big platform to emerging artists or entrepreneurs of any kind. The Fashion Group International, which has been in existence for well over 2 decades, is still shining the much needed bright lights on many unsung/unseen talents in the game! A big congratulations to all the finalists and winners.

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.
