VA Fashion Week Announces Lineup for 2013 Runway Shows beginning with a benefit for “Bra-ha-ha to be held at the Richard Stravitz 30th St Gallery in Virginia Beach on Thursday October 10.
We are thrilled to announce that the opening night of Runway Shows will be in Virginia Beach on October 10 at the Richard Stravitz Gallery, corner of 30thand Pacific, one block from the Oceanfront. That night will be a “pink” event, part of a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign and will feature the “Bra-ha-ha” on the runway as well as runway shows not only spotlighting designers but also locally owned boutiques. The title of the October 10 show is “Beauty and the Beach” with the focus on swimwear and party/cocktail attire. Highlights will be the collection Lizzi London and swimwear designs JB5 from Puerto Rico and Loja Leblon from Brazil. We’ll also feature locally owned Virginia Beach Boutiques Meg’s, Esme, and Haute Swan as well as styles from two of our vendors Yatra Collection and Evangeline’s Closet. Of course, one of the highlights of the past four seasons has been the presentation of “Bra-ha-ha” on the runway and this year’s collection of bras will most definitely be stunning!
From Friday through Snday, the Colonial Capital will come alive with fashion as VA Fashion Week showcases over 25 designers including some exciting new talent as well as returning favorites.
Our lineup this year includes Angela Bacskocky from Richmond who appeared in Season 12 of Project Runway, exquisite DC based designer Michael Carter, the return of Michael Taylor with his Chanle’ Encore collection, Evgenia Luzhina-Salazar, Gohar Ayvazyan Beaver, Mikasa La’Charles, and Azi Blas.
Also returning to show at VA Fashion Week: Brehon Williams, Willie Charles, Jennifer Carpenter, Carlyle Williams, Gwendolyn Wilson, Christina Grehan and Allyson Ritchie.
Expect to see some new talent among the designers as well. New designers showing include Samantha Smith, Chrissy Crawford, Alli Meraki and Victoria Reed. Also making their Virginia debut is the Yatra Collection, now based in Yorktown but founded by designers from India.
Our Saturday shows will also feature musical performances by Payton Johnson, K’Bana Blaq, and 11 year old Gabrielle Pinkney who will open the Children’s segment which will also feature fashions from C&C Sandbox, Pretty Patty, JAdore’s Closet, and Sweet 16.
