Less
than a week away, participating designers and retailers are putting
the final touches on their runway shows, event organizers are burning
the midnight oil, and the tents in Marion Square are being
transformed to host the fourth annual Charleston Fashion Week®
presented by the Art Institute of Charleston. Fashion fever is
in the air, if you haven't reserved a seat to catch all the
red-carpet action, March 16-20th you better act fast. Featuring
more than 30 runway shows, battling DJs, hip-hop violinist,
professional dancers, onsite shopping, and special guests to include
actor and new designer Orlando Jones, designer Carmen Marc Valvo, and
ELLE fashion director Anne Slowey, this is one ticket you don’t
want to be fashionably late to purchase.
In
conjunction to the Emerging Designer Semifinalists debuting their
collections,
Runway's
fan favorite and Emerging Designer Fashion Panel Judge Mychael
Knight, will premiere his provocative new collection as Wednesday's
featured designer. "My F/W 2010 collection Carte Blanche
is
unapologetic approach to the aesthetic of the label. It's about
me having the complete authority to do as I please. I'm excited
and honored to debut the fresh and altered spirit of my label at
Charleston Fashion Week"
Another CFW alum to return to the tents includes, Charleston local
and 2009 Emerging Designer Winner, Marysia Reeves whose 2010
Summer/Spring swimsuit line was just featured in Sports Illustrated’s
Swimsuit edition.
This
city is aglow with a flurry of fashion activities to include trunk
shows, charity events, and Charleston Fashion Week's shopping event,
GO! FASHION running through March 14th. So if your still in search of
