Le Monde de la Mode: Fashion Week in the Queen City



The city of Charlotte, North Carolina has seen many BIG things happen. The biggest International and multi-platinum superstar Beyonce has graced the city with her vocals. The biggest college basketball tournament, CIAA, has it’s own special weekend in the queen city. And after all, Charlotte is home to both the Bobcats arena and Carolina Panthers football stadium. What more could this rising city want? Well we want what New York, Paris and Milan all have in common. What is that you ask?

Fashion Week…and that is just what we got!

It always starts with a sketch and becomes fashion. A design and garment that embodies inspiration and a lot of creativity. Just like the big fashion capitals of the world, the queen city will have the biggest event of 2008...Charlotte North Carolina Fashion Week. The event is held from Thursday, September 18th through Saturday, September 20th at the Blake Hotel in downtown Charlotte. This three-day event is produced by Networkz 2000 LLC and includes runway shows, hair and cosmetology workshops (as well as modeling/runway training and fashion styling/image consulting), vendors and live entertainment from Blue Erro Soul Entertainment Recording Artist, Eric Roberson.

So who are the designers of inspiration and creativity? Charlotte North Carolina Fashion Week (CNCFW) is showcasing designers from Charlotte, New York, Atlanta, and other cities throughout the north and southeast. The designers/collections include: Flow by Tara Davis, Dammi, Luis Machiaco Couture, Pixton Bridal, Foxx Skynz by Design, Elleira Couture, Thelma Caraway, T Simone, Pat Brown, and Rain Anthology.

Not that this event isn’t fabulous enough with all the good things mentioned so far, but it only gets better. To top of all the designers, live entertainment, workshops, and vendors, the host of CNCFW is none other than former Project Runway contestant and Charlotte native, Carmen Webber.

 This isn’t your ordinary church fashion event. THIS IS CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA FASHOIN WEEK. A three-day event that you must be apart of!
