The Finale--Phoenix Fashion Week

Toy Taylor [RECAP] - I'm sad it's all over. This season's Phoenix Fashion Week soiree came to a glorious end at the Talking Stick Resort this past Saturday night. This show ended on such a high note, I could still feel the energy of the crowd as they headed to the after party.

Showing Saturday night on the runway were 4 emerging designers who were looking to score the title of Couture Designer of the Year.  I expected some significant changes with a few of these designers and I'm proud to say my prediction of the winner was spot on. After naming the Designer of the Year, there would be 4 well-established designers who I hoped would bring an innovative runway performance. I was very pleased.

To add another twist to the program, Phoenix Fashion Week added a Peoples Choice Award naming a fourth designer of the year. Well your going to have read a little further to find out the results.
