It's that time of year again! Charleston has been putting the South on the fashion map since 2007. Ms. Lucas; my personal shero, is the founder and brainpower behind all this hype.(And yes I'm proud to boast this is a young, Black, woman... Calling Essence, Ebony, Jet, BET; please do a feature on her; just sayin.) ...I've been privileged to be a part of the backstage excitement for two years; first as an intern (2010), second as MUA(2011) after a testy audition!!! This is the real deal people. Here in the heart of the low country, some of the biggest names in fashion come out to play; such as Fern Malis, creator of NYFW; Anne Slowey, fashion editor for Elle Magazine; and Mychael Knight, fashion designer.
Each year the event draws more attention and displays some of the best new talent in fashion; as well as some very well-known established designers and retailers. Check out the 2012 promo video! I hope to see you there in March!!!
