Wow! What a night at Phoenix Fashion Week! The energy level continues to rise. Tonight was the second night for our well established designers and our up and coming designers to show their collections and represent what they’re working with.  This year will mark an unprecedented moment as Phoenix Fashion Week has decided to name not only a top female model but a male model as well. Each model will receive a contract with an Arizona agency.  That's awesome! You know many male models will be bringing their A-game to this competition.

First up in the lineup for the evening of established designers was Gents.  How would I best describe Gents style?  In one word, sexy.  It was an incredible to see how Gents could turn the simple baseball hat into an attractive sexy stylish baseball hat. Gents displays a sense of humility in their product line. No logos. No labels. No branding of any kind. Complete with sophisticated anonymity Gents baseball caps are the right accessory for the contemporary male. The hats range from baseball style to a scrumptious newsboy that looks great on women, too. Gents rocked the runway collaborating their stylish caps with their soft premium t-shirts. JHaus clothing line is chocked full of denim ranging from deep rich blue hues to lighter hues. These jeans look comfortable and movable. You can feel every bit of the high quality denim JHaus used for this line of denim. JHaus even took it a little old school with an acid wash-looking skinny jean. That brought back some good memories. JHaus showed denim is not only for jeans, but for skirts as well. This fun flirty play with a flair skirt was priceless! It happened to be a windy night so the models could really show off the movement in these adorable skirts.

Paulie Gibson is a mastermind. His use of somber colors infused with the vibrancy of teal hues made his collection remarkable. Paulie Gibson definitely likes to have fun in creating unique looks that make us do a double take. There is such a mix of classic styles blended perfectly with modern trends that connect it all together. Prints solids stripes polka dots! He leaves no one out. Who can design a mens short jumpsuit and rock the runway with it? Paulie Gibson can! Fantastic collection! Last year she was an up and coming designer, now Bri Seeley 2012 Designer of the Year is an established designer who showed us an outstanding new collection tonight. She is amazing in her use of soft flowing materials that glide with you as you walk. I love everything girly! And this collection gave me just that. The color scheme was incredibly feminine and silky-smooth giving a sense of elegance to her line. Tonight the wind picked up and worked its magic for Bri Seeley. It was almost mesmerizing watching the models strut down that runway in a cool breeze. I felt a sense of the classic 60’s accessorized with today’s modern flair fit for the busy fashionista.  We’re getting ready and can’t wait for what’s in store for the final night of Phoenix Fashion Week at Talking Stick Resort.
