THE VISION: Fashion Show Highlights

If you were not in the building for 'The Vision' Fashion Show, you definitely missed an absolutely AMAZING show!

The ladies or shall I say creative geniuses of Ego-Trippin, Ms. Reeka Marcia and Designs By Danny, Ms. Danny, murdered the runway with their innovative and eclectic pieces.

I was in awe of the diversity and ingenious way that they took their individual pieces, put them together and created an explosion of fashion and style on the runway.

The models were definitely on as well. They did not disappoint. They took to the runway and truly ripped it. Confident, poised, and unique would be an understatement to describe how these models handled and absolutely set the runway on fire. Their hair and makeup was also on point, of course done by local and quite talented makeup artist and hairstylist.

 

'The Vision' was an excellent choice in name for this fashion show because these ladies, Ms. Reeka Marcia and Danny, gave a 3D visual of their gifted and artistic pieces. The music, the models, the straight talent that filled that room and runway was a vision of greatness.

We were also graced by the sultry voice of Ida Divine at the beginning of the show and during intermission. This woman's voice is so smooth and effortless, I was mesmerized from the beginning to the very end of each note. If you would like to hear Ms. Ida Divine's fantastic voice download her music at itunes.apple.com/us/album/molecular-legato!

Power 98's Yasmin Young did an awesome job hosting. She kept the crowd intrigued and entertained while patiently waiting for the show to start and intermission, as she herself rocked a Designs By Danny necklace and Ego-Trippin earrings. She is an avid supporter of local and small business owners, especially women owned. Yasmin is a hustler and an entrepreneur herself. Her customized buttons debuted on the runway as well. You can purchase them by emailing her at bigbuttonboss@gmail.com and by visiting soleshirts.com.

'I Am My Sister's founder Ms. Lela Blackwell was also in the building, representing in her custom made dress by local designers SilkFalsetto and looking oh so fabulous. Ms. Danny and Ms. Reeka not only gave us a fascinating and phenomenal show but they gave back while doing so. They donated to 'I Am My Sister' a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping teen girls.

Overall, 'The Vision' Fashion Show was a complete success. The life that the Ms. Reeka Marcia of Ego-Trippin and Ms. Danny of Designs by Danny brought to the stage was impressive to say the least. They definitely brought the house down with their ever so creative pieces and I can't wait to see more of and from them.

Interested in supporting and purchasing from these fabulous local entrepreneurs? For Ego-Trippin hand crafted and painted earrings, visit Dupp and Swat studio at 2424 N. Davidson St. Suite 112 B Charlotte, NC and Ms. Danny's authentic and handmade necklaces can be purchased at www.designsbydanny.com.
