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.
