Burning Guitars Fashion Show at Space Ibiza New York

One of the most creative and innovative fashion shows in New York City this summer was held by Burning Guitars Clothing at Space Ibiza on June 14, 2016. The evening was held in honor of legendary Marvel Comics editor and writer Mark Gruenwald and was attended by many of his friends. It was hosted by his wife, the amazing Catherine Schuller-Gruenwald, and featured a Captain America shield cake and lots of super hero fun.

The highlight for this fashionista was the Marvel-themed runway show featuring custom pieces designed by Burning Guitars’ amazing team of Smiley Jonez, Saiyd Muhammed and Kenneth Jackson. Jonez, who’s also a dope hip-hop artist, served as MC for the show and dropped amazing beats as one stunning model after another paid tribute to Marvel Comics’ greatest heroes, and the work of Mark Gruenwald.

Check out the photos from the show and be sure to catch Burning Guitars in person if you get a chance all jordan retros. They will be showing at New York Fashion Week and Philadelphia Fashion Week this year, so follow them on Facebook (facebook.com/BurningGuitarsClothing) to keep track of these rising stars.

Hosted by Events by Tia Maria, the packed house hosted a beautiful and fashionable crowd who were all there to mingle with CEO Billy Blunt and Pamela Paige, whose stunning cover photographs are stand-outs from this issue. The entire evening was really well done, and we had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and talking about fashion with the photographers, models, designers and socialites in attendance.

Atlantic City Fashion Week Presents Designer Ellen Durken

The opening designer at the Atlantic City Fashion Week #ACFW runway show on February 27 at The Claridge Hotel was a remarkable way to open the show. The show featured many amazing uses of fabric, but designer Ellen Durken is actually a blacksmith who uses her forge to create amazing designs fashioned from metal.

Ellen’s work is wonderful both for its creativity and how striking it makes the models look on the runway.  It was amazing to see how creative her designs are, and how they stretch the definitions of fashion and style.  See more of her bad-ass approach to high fashion at her website www.ellendurkan.com. She also sells cool prints of her work and custom metal jewelry.

What a striking way to kick-off the show. This design set the creative tone for a wonderful evening.

Atlantic City Fashion Week Presents Designer Samina Mughal

I loved attending Atlantic City Fashion Week at The Claridge Hotel on February 27.  The founders and executive producers of #ACFW, Lamont and Jeana Bowling, put on amazing shows and always great take care of me!  (On a side note, I am really excited for their new project, SOHO Fashion Week, which makes its debut in May!)

One of the highlights for me was the show from #designer Samina Mughal. Samina’s work has been internationally recognized for her glamorous collection of clothing and accessories. As you know, I love things that sparkle and have lots of glam, and her work brought shine and glitter to the runway.
