Forté, presented by Seam Collective, was a smash hit. It had all the elements that make up an excellent fashion show: a red carpet, late starts, pounding music, striking clothing, goodie bags, swarming style photographers & an open bar. There was even a fellow wearing a harness full of harmonicas.
The show was a celebration of female fashion designers, featuring the ready-to-wear collections of four young up-&-coming New Yorkers. The show was headlined by Kenley Collins (of Project Runway fame), with Elizabeth Roynish, Sheila Frank & Marissa Erskine also sending fabulous spring frocks down the catwalk. In addition to showcasing talent, Forté was a charitable event for Gilda’s Club, a non-profit organization for people living with cancer. The proceeds of a silent auction & half the ticket sales were donated to the organization.
