The second of the Fashion NoVA events by Northern Virginia Magazine was held at the Fashion Center at Pentagon City Mall last Saturday. This mall has a grand atrium that opens from the bottom, to the top – 4 stories above with a space-frame glass roof. This was much different from the last show. Although enclosed, the show seemed larger with the noise, and amount of people that came to watch the show and view the demonstrations. Around the runway were stores that had pop-up shops with some of their products and people to demonstrate their latest.
The show was hosted this time by Ms. DC, Ericka Thomas who did a great job introducing the designs, and raffling off give-away prizes from attending stores.
Runway Show
The models for the show were prepped with hair and makeup by the Paul Mitchell School of Tysons Corner. They arrived early, and worked quickly to get ready and dressed with designs from Ann Taylor, Cache, Express, The Limited, White House Black Market, and Macy’s. It was a coordinated effort by the organizers and stylists to get the show ready, but they worked efficiently to it done by showtime.
It was another successful show! This weekend, there will be another in the series at Tysons Corner Mall, but I will not be covering that one. It will be focusing on high-end designers, so it should be a great showcase for the designers and models alike. For more information on the show, please go to the Fashion NoVA site here.
