PHILADELPHIA FASHION WEEK

Did you smile for the flash?? We sure did! (tribute to the PhillyFashionWeek [PFW] theme song by tU pHAce called flash) Today was the first day of the first ever Philadelphia Fashion Week.  It was an incredible turnout, the armory was full of explosive energy, and everyone seemed to be having a blast.  Throughout the PFW event, guests are invited to shop at 12 pop-up boutiques [Cristina V., Danielle Tobin, Ipearl, K. Louise Design, Mesa Enterprises, Marina Makaron Moscow, S. Love, Sandra Baquero, Traci Lynn Fashion Jewelry], enjoy drinks, light bites, and cocktails. Each day the first show begins at 5:00 p.m. and the headlining concerts will take place nightly at 8:00 p.m. [today's healdiner was philly based band, Black Landlord].

Today was a landmark occasion in the city of brotherly love both by fashion and  event scale standards.  As David Evangelista said while he emcee’d “We are having a baby, PFW is born!” That is absolutely the truth, Philadelphia has a large amount of fashion, culture, and style driven people but never a mecca of this calibar to celebrate all of these spectacular things and finally that door has opened!

Upon entry into PFW you are greeted by many smiling staff members, a large silver metallic circular bar, and today there were two yummy munchie offerings: Lucky Strike offered mini cheeseburgers and Trio Restaurant offered garlic chicken on cucumbers:DE-LICIOUS!

Each designer participating in PFW brings their own specialty to the event, from fabrics, colors, messages behind their line, to seasonal creativity.  It is so exciting to see so many talented people finally able to come together in such a fantastic city.
