“Fashion is what you’re offered four times a year by designers. And style is what you choose.” – Lauren Hutton
Phoenix Fashion Week has done it again. This season, the Chic Moxy Hotel in Tempe played host to the 2016 Shop Garment District. On August 5th, a crowd filled with fashionistas of every kind gathered for a preview of the emerging fashion and accessories from this year’s featured designers. The event gave an opportunity to independent sales reps, bloggers, boutique owners and target customers to shop right from the Shop Garment District before and after the show.
The opening fashion show was a nod to the 2016 Olympics — since the event fell on the same date as the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Rio. Phoenix Fashion Week showcased their newest collection styled in red, white and blue.
Every featured designer had the opportunity to showcase four pieces from their upcoming collections. This gave the audience a chance to see how the designer’s collections were all starting to come together. Personally, I’d say I already have my favorite designers and I’m eager to see their respective collections take shape.
For now, all that’s left is to see how these designers battle it out for the title of “Designer of the Year 2016” come October. It’ll be top models, top accessory and top fashion designers all under one roof.
