Tips for Dressing for a Runway Event

Hello ladies and gents, Baltimore Fashion Week is rapidly approaching and I know you’re excited, as you should be. Since the hottest event in Baltimore fashion history is right around the corner I thought it’s time we had the talk…about things to wear to an affair of this caliber. Now don’t be scared, don’t run away I’m not going to throw the book at you. I’m just going to give you a few tips on how to look hot when you attend such an extraordinary event. So get a pen and paper and ready those printers. If you’re aiming for THE RELAXED LOOK I would suggest wearing something that is Smart-Casual. Why? Because it's comfortable, it’s not too sophisticated, and it always leaves the impression that you are a fashionista at heart. So, if you want to wear those nice pair of jeans in your closet, match them with a stylish blouse and a sexy heel or if you have a cute dress match it with a sleek jacket. Remember, accessories make the outfit.

The same goes for you guys. Just look at Neyo and Will. These men can dress. If you want to have the fashionista’s staring at you, wear a suave outfit—a nice pair of shoes, jeans and a dress shirt with a few buttons loose (give us girls something to think about).



Have you ever thought about wearing one of the featured designer’s outfits to the show? On this, I say, take your cue from Rihanna. She wore a Gucci design to a Gucci runway event. Nothing compliments the designer more than to know that someone as hot as you wore one of their beautiful creations to the show. You’ll be hip, hot, and totally stylin’. So if you have a Prada dress and you’re going to a Prada show, WEAR IT!



Now ladies and gents let’s not just get caught up in the outfit and not Think About the Colors. I just have to say this black is always in style. You can never go wrong with black. But if you want to take a walk on the wild side, like moi, and spice up your outfit, always be certain that the colors you are wearing coordinate well together (that includes jewelry).

I’m going to leave you with My Most Important Tip that I got from designer Franco Mirabelli, “You have to look like you get it.” So, if you don’t have that $1,000 Fendi dress, don’t sweat it. Do like Baltimoreans do and grab those jeans and shirt in the back of your closet and make it work for you.

The Press Party will be up in smoke - IN A GOOD WAY

This year Butterfly Productions is implementing what they are calling the kick-off celebration for Baltimore Fashion Week, gracefully entitled "THE PRESS PARTY" of Baltimore Fashion Week.

This year you can meet the participating designers of Baltimore Fashion Week and see a garment that they will be showing during fashion week; meet the five (5) finalists for the McCafe Inspired Designer Contest; and find out who will be announced the winner of the McCafe Designer Contest. This is one thing that I can't wait to see.

Besides all of that, Butterfly Productions has also secured Cross Street Tobacco as a cigar (product) sponsor for THE PRESS PARTY and they will be supplying cigars for the guests along side the pier during THE PRESS PARTY held at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

This year's theme for Baltimore Fashion Week is a fairytale theme, which is why it is entitled as "Once Upon A Fashionable Dream" - A Fashionista's Fairytale.

Tickets can be obtained via the website at www.baltimoresfashionweek.com for $40.00.

So, sit back and grab your mouse and scroll and see the picture shots we have for your.
