The Stars of Fashion Focus: The Chicago Fashion Incubator Show

Entering the Show

This week was Fashion Focus Chicago.....our Fashion Week. The one show that I was SUPER EXCITED to see was the Fashion Incubator show hosted by Macy's. Let me say...it did not let me down.

The Incubator show introduced the rising stars of the Chicago Fashion Industry. These designers in residence included; Crystal B Simms from Crystal B Designs, Concetta Cipriano (Cettina, my personal favorite and fellow DU alumni), Kahindo Mateene (Modahnik), Taneasha Prunty (Gidi) and the sole male Eric Kipp (Eric Kipp). Every one of these designers rocked the runway!!! Wowing the crowd and press alike.

Gidi

Eric Kipp

Crystal B Designs reminded me of sophisticated New York Power Women style clothing, while Shavonne Dorsey Apparel slammed the audience with the most beautiful designs for curvy women like myself...very extremely pleased that she designs for plus-size women.

Concetta Cipriano and me!!!

Gidi was very sexy and lacy; reminding me of the movie Burlesque. Eric Kipp was very classic 1950's Hollywood clothing style for men, felt like I was in a flashback movie. Modahnik was very 1970's and colorful...one day I will rock her designs.

Yep I am a fan of Cettina

Cettina, whom I personally LOVE brought me back to my Playa de Carmen vacation with all the flowy gowns and clean laid-back style. The dresses were very romantic and I cannot wait till it is summer out so I can wear her dresses!!!

 Incubator Alumna's such as C/Fan, Anna Hovet, Nonni and Evil Kitty plus others were also showcasing their Spring 2012 collections. Along with a violinist, the audience was memorized by the sophisticated and tasteful garments for both men and women.

Great show....I cannot wait to see what all these designers do next!!!!! Keep an eye out!! Estrella Modas* sure will be~
