DETROIT PREVIEWS "THE CARRIE GOWN"
Last night, I attended the Crème de la Crème fashion and afterglow party held at the beautiful Detroit Athletic Club; the event was hosted by the charismatic Jon Jordan, channel 4 fashion editor.
The purpose of the event was to promote Detroit as the Ultimate American Destination for National and International clients and to showcase Detroit native and/or based couture bridal gown designers, bridal salons and various special event industry vendors.
Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone and staff commends all involved in the production of this great event - Detroit has so much to offer in fashion, food, entertainment and lifestyle. Together as a community, we need to promote more awareness of our great city and to the local talent that resides here!
With French Mimes interacting with guests and the live music by Panache Entertainment the ambiance was set.
The main attraction of the night was Vivienne Westwood’s ‘The Carrie Gown” from Sex and the City. Alexis Williamson, the owner of Le Salon in Royal Oak, was chosen by Vivienne Westwood personally, as 1 of only 5 salons to preview and showcase “The Carrie Gown”. Le Salon is beautiful, edgy and couture savy, with museum quality presentations throughout the salon. Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone encourages all brides to visit this salon, it will not disappoint!
Following the presentation of "The Carrie Gown", a fabulous strolling fashion show was presented, with models walking the catwalk wearing the beautiful couture designs of Katerina Bocci, Kate Bennett, Cynthia LeMaide and the luxe shoe line, Omelle Footwear - all local Detroit talent! I think every woman there wanted to get married (again) just to be able to wear the gowns!
An afterglow party followed the show, with DJ CAPTN20 spinning some kicking sounds to dance off the tantalizing hors d’oeurves, sweets and cocktails that the DAC’s culinary staff presented.
All in all, the event was a success! The perfect place, the perfect crowd, the perfect purpose: showcasing what Detroit has to offer in couture fashion, beautiful venues, and the great people of our town!
