Phoenix Fashion Week's Spring Into Style was held in the beautiful garden-rich courtyard at
the Arizona Center.
Downtown Phoenix had a cool, cool breeze blowing
through which made for a chilly show. I was freezing! But
that did not stop tonight's party goers from stepping out on
the red carpet. The line was long and the photogs were
having a field day. Definitely a good night for the pretty
people.

Misha Mendicino of Misha Mendicino Designs and
Natasha Duran Lynch of Hues of Ego were both spotted
on the red carpet. I just love those incredibly talented
ladies.
This particular event boasts 6 stylists who will
showcase their skills in the art of fashion styling. We got a first hand look at each stylist
and what they would be bringing to the runway during a Q&A forum.
Javier Soto of News Channel 3
kicked off the first round of questions. I
loved it when asked "what trend is most
hated?" Style Stalkers reply "acid washed
jeans!" Guess what? I concur! Acid-wash
should NEVER make a comeback. I'm just
saying...
Now for the night's event....
The show's theme is based on six inspired trends. Here's the lineup:
- Style Stalkers - Plaid Inspired
- Tim Boado - Green Inspired
- Risa Kostis - Metallic Inspired
- Nuvia Magdahi - White Shirt Inspired
- Parisa Zahedi - Sporty Chic Inspired
- Brandon Hunt - Lingerie Inspired
Risa Kostis - Metallic Inspired Trend
The Metallic Collection was just pure fun.The was attitude in abundance with flirty play in
the mirrored Aviator sunglasses. You could tell the models were feeling it.
Risa did an amazing job combining gold metallic pieces with more subtle looks showing an easy day to night transition.
Risa stated she wanted the metallic pieces to "speak for
themselves" and not be weighed down by excessive
jewelry. That's some good advice.
She describes her metallic inspired trend as "vintage glam
with a modern twist". Great job! #risarocks
Parisa Zahedi - Sporty Chic Inspired Trend
The Sporty Chic Collection gave us just that. A very chic kinda way to wear sports wear and still look cute. The pics tell it all. I am such a sucker for ANYTHING black and white.
To be accessorized with orange balls and bats was a showstopper for this trend. Parisa's fashion tip for the night.....Take those jogger pants you love to lounge in pair them with a cute shirt and jacket and your good to go. And that's sporty chic! #lovethissport
Tim Boado - Green Inspired Trend
The Green Collection was kind of all over the place. I am
familiar with Tim's styling and know that he is a master at
what he does. I loved the mix of camouflage and plaid.
It was quite
bold and refreshing no
doubt. I admit a few pieces lost me in
their busyness. I think
when you work so hard on
formulating a strong cohesive look a few pieces just may
fall short. But I DO enjoy watching Tim do his thing. #keeprising
Brandon Hunt - The Lingerie Inspired Trend
The Lingerie collection exuded confidence and sex appeal. This is why Brandon won
2016 Best in Show for bringing this attention grabbing
inspired trend to the runway. Right from jump, the models
wore it and owned it! Lingerie paired with trench coats or
see through shirts were dynamic on the catwalk. I had to
get up out of my seat to get a closer look lol. Brandon
stated his "biggest inspiration is women". Um, yeah, I think
he understands that concept all too well. #bestinshow
Style Stalkers - The Plaid Inspired Trend
So when is a good time to see a kilt on the runway....anytime! Kudos to Style Stalkers for bringing a serious-ness to the runway.
The music had an ethereal chant whilst the models walked with a single flower in hand. I don't know what that was all about but I loved it! I mean really, who would think of that?
Plaid is one of my ultimately favorite prints so I loved seeing plaid mixed with florals. May hurt the eyeballs a skinch but then it grows on you. Great job! #stalkertude
Nuvia Magdahi - The White Shirt Inspired Trend
Nuvia, Nuvia, Nuvia what can I say about you? She
brought the most futuristic, most edgy, and most chic White
Shirt collection I have ever laid eyes on. But I will tell you as
much as I liked the fashion, I could not take me eyes of the
hairstyles.They were so Fury Road!
Nuvia's inspirations from art and architecture and her love
of monochromatic colors like black and white
definitely showed in the clothing choices. Hands down,
every woman needs a flirty white shirt. #wildstyle
Well there you have it! Phoenix Fashion Week's Spring Into Style 2016 was a smashing success. I'm sure Executive Director Brian Hill was quite pleased. So stay tuned to see where the Chronic Behavior team ends up next. Where there's a happening, we will make sure you are in the know.
See you on the runway!
