Local designers to shine Friday at accessories fashion show
Over here in Deal Diva land, we blog a lot about clothes.
But, as Marilyn Monroe said, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
If you are also fond of your accessories, you just might fit in at a fashion show going down tomorrow at the Hunter’s Green Country Club in Tampa.
HAUTE The Accessory Show promises “an exquisite evening of style & fashion.”
Just as the name suggests, the room will be chock full of necklaces, earrings, shoes, handbags, hair pieces and other head-turning trinkets.
The show, in its second year, is being put on by The Fashion Movement, a Tampa-based fashion events production and marketing company.
Executive director Lacey B. Smith says audience members will be able to view the fashions on 15 runway models draped in black, white or earth tone fabric.
“We wrap the models in cloth, so the accessories stand out,” Smith said.
Another 11 boutique models will showcase pieces available for purchaes at designers’ booths.
The show is 7 p.m. to midnight Friday. Tickets (click here) cost $30, which gets you access to complimentary beer, wine, hors d’oeuvres and other tasty treats. Trumpeter Jevon H. Falcon and saxophonist Jarryd Dollard will provide entertainment.
For details, go to Facebook and check out Smith's page or the event's public invite.
