Day 2 of Phoenix Fashion Week at Talking Stick Resort was a
nice segue from opening night into the continuous world of fashion that lives
in the heart of many. For the designers involved, I have to share this analogy
that often times represents the challenges and struggles that are often
experienced in the process. The Phoenix
is known for rising as in a regeneration and rebirth from the ashes of its
predecessor. This is symbolic for many
in the design world that they have a beginning and many times it comes from
creation and recreation of designs coming from their experiences, causes, and
delving into something different often times in ways that many do not expect.

The emerging designers of Phoenix Fashion Week for Friday
brought a sense of vibrancy in color and flow.
Starting off with d.p.c. by Dora Yim, she demonstrated a quite elegance with
the subtle colors of yellow and gray hues with the more evening wear looks in
black. There is a signature dress from
the collection that Dora Yim displayed well with a day to night look with the
convertible sleeves which will definitely be an item that will fall into many
lifestyle wardrobes. Herbert Victoria
with his African inspired collection celebrates the bold colors with color blocking
of patterns and solids matched with form fitting complimentary lines. The off-shoulder combinations show the casual
sexy fun side. The styling and
accessories were strong and showed the versatility of the collection.
