Fall Fashion Week Takes Over Atlanta!

By: 1stLadyofPR

Every Fashionista and Don look forward to the Fashion Frenzy that September offers as Fashion's Night Out turns four and over eighteen countries with more than 4,500 events in the U.S. participate in the most fashionable week of the year. 

Atlanta has its own burgeoning fashion trendsetters that come out with their latest and greatest anticipated designs that will grace runways, cocktail parties and rooftops. Our 1stLadyofPR, Tamika Morrison, will be onsite as LABELatlanta emerge as the most talked about event of the week.  Kicking off on September 6^th, editors, stars, models, fashionistas, and designers will attend events across the city for fashion's most iconic extravaganza.

I sat down with LABELatlanta's Cynthia Johnson to talk about what fashion lovers can expect at this secret location event.

TM: September is all about the fashion!  Tell Atlanta all about LABELatlanta and what we can anticipate?

CJ: Atlanta can expect a one-of-a-kind, spectacular event that showcases  local talent in the fashion design industry, and celebrates philanthropy and social media marketing all at the same time.  Fashion is an important thread in the cultural fabric of Atlanta and we are also a city that encourages entrepreneurship. LABELatlanta incorporates those same values. Add in LIVE tweeting, a gourmet tasting menu by Chef Taylor and designer STATUS cocktails and it equals an unforgettable fashion night out. 

TM: How did LABELatlanta come about?  

CJ: The mission of the Atlanta Fashion Incubator, a 501c3 non profit, is to support, nurture and promote emerging fashion design enterprises and that organization is the beneficiary of this event. I designed LABELatlanta to spotlight some of the extraordinary talent in our city and promote their fashion labels. We want to encourage these artists to grow their businesses here versus NYC or LA. They need the support of their local community too.

TM: How did you get into fashion?

Happy HAUTE September!!

Happy September Everyone!

We LOVE Fall and not just because it's just simply beautiful, but because....well, it's Just Simply Beautiful!!!  Autumn has a way of using the changing colors of leaves to get us into reflection as the hibernation of Winter prepares to make it's arrival.

While Summer was definitely HOT here in Atlanta and in our agency - we had record-breaking media accomplishments during Summer, thanks to the fabulous brands we have the opportunity to work alongside.

Jersey Girl Sports, continue to trend as the #1 online website for women who love sports.  Charleston media rolled out the red carpet for Strikes & Stilettos, their baseball 101 for women!  Shouts out to the crew at Z.93 FM - Tessa & Baby J and of course the beautiful Laura Harris for Low Country Live. Atlanta always show us love from Sam Crenshaw at WXIA to CBS Better Mornings and Good Day Atlanta.  Now the ladies are in Miami to kick-off "1st & Flirty" with Black Enterprise for their football 101 and will make a TOUCHDOWN here in Atlanta with the Harvey Twins on September 18th.  BE THERE!

Yours Truly is celebrating my birthday on September 6 and what better way to party than with a fashion show presented by Betsey Johnson at the W. Hotel in Buckhead. Talk about HAUTE!!! Model and Fashion & Beauty Director of THE 19TH HOLE MAGAZINE, Renee Knorr along with former Good Day Atlanta host, the beautiful, Suchita Vadlamani are hosts for this fabulous event.  All I gotta say is "If you're NOT there then you MUST be a Square!!"  LOL!  Tickets are only $10 before the event and pre and after parties are for all to enjoy!

Also One Hundred Days and Author/Humanitarian, Linda Cox continue to trek through Atlanta on an international treasure hunt to Rwanda with MARKET RWANDA! In July, MARKET RWANDA debuted its beautiful handmade collection of jewelry and home decor at Emerging Art Scene Gallery in Castleberry Hill to a media wave and will be launching into September at the HAUTEST fashion event in the city celebrating Fashion's Night Out with Modern Luxury at SHOP ATLANTA. The VIP reception promises to be exactly what we're hoping for! MARKET RWANDA is a beautiful collection of handmade jewelry and home decor from Rwanda courtesy of One Hundred Days whose mission is to help build restoration in Rwanda. The shopping experience will be going on all weekend from September 9 - September 11. Stop by and say "Hi!"

That's just a little of what we've been up to!  There's so much more of this creative energy going on behind the scenes from new looks, movie premieres, reality shows and even writing of a New York Times Bestselling book.  Stay tuned, ya hear?!  We have SO MUCH to keep sharing!

Until next time, Happy HAUTE Labor Day Weekend and reach out to us if you're interested in attending any of these fabulous events!!

CIAO!
