DESIGNER’S CHOICE FASHION PREVIEW
7 p.m., Metroplex. $35-$50.
In the increasingly bustling — well, at least growing — local fashion
scene, no event brings out more spectators or star wattage than the
Designer’s Choice. In its third year, the fashion show brings back Korto
Momolu to host, this time with Tyson Beckford, who’s famous for
modeling for Ralph Lauren, making music video cameos and hosting Bravo’s
“Make Me a Supermodel.” Still, the focus as ever remains on local
designers. There are nine locals: Brooke Benham, Krystal Cornelius,
Daisy Jackson, Leah Jackson, Tashika Keown, Feleke Ross, Johnathan
Nichols, Ngozika O’keke and Leslie Pennell. And three out-of-towners:
Ocie Collins, Essence Flowers and Elwood Shannon. Tickets are available
at Jeante OneofOne, Box Turtle, Vogue Visage, 4th Dimensions Salon and
Uncle T’s. A $50 VIP ticket includes a meet and greet with Momolu and
Beckford (at 5:30 p.m.), free booze and food, good seats and free access
to the after party.
