Over the past few years, fashion has become more and more "in fashion". We all want to be glamorous and sensational, just as our celebrity idols. "Back in the day" one could only dream to look as gorgeous as a Diana Ross or Sophia Loren(okay, am I showing my age...LOL). Celebrities were untouchable. They wore one of a kind clothing and were actually stars; meaning "we-the- ordinary-people" could not reach them. Okay fast forward to the era of Madonna, who set fashion trends on fire with lace tops, chiffon skirts, leggings, and tons of bangles; designers such as Betsey Johnson and Vivienne Westwood became synonymous for Material Girl inspired gear. Thus, leading to runway shows becoming the hottest tickets in town for celebrity sitings and the latest fashion. We finally could get "inside" and learn their beauty secrets, what they wore, the places they hung out, and eventually we began to look better than them in some instances...LOL...Now fast forward to today. Every region has their own "fashion week"; Which originally started in New York City. Europe soon followed. And now it seems as if every region on the map has it's own interpretation of what fashion is.
Well, I said all of that to say, tomorrow begins the first day of the Second Annual Charleston Fashion Week. The event begins with fashion shows presented by the most talented emerging designers from the Art Institute of Charleston; which is also a major sponsor of the week long fashion extravaganza. Of course, there will be celebrity sitings, major television coverage, and hot VIP after-parties. Some of the highlights include a fashion show presented by Saks Fifth Avenue, the bridal couture show, and the emerging designer competition with guest judge Myckael Knight of Project Runway.
Much to my dismay, I had to turn down the opportunity to work behind the scenes due to other obligations at the time, but I will be attending the Saturday Couture Show and Gala. I'm very excited and am truly glad that this part of the region now has a voice for fashion; and people are listening!
