Style South brings Fashion Week to The Shops Buckhead Atlanta

With two solid days of fashion shows and fashion parties, The Shops Buckhead Atlanta may have just created Fashion Week in Atlanta. The open-to-public event featured the Fall 2016 collections from many of their top retailers - talk about staying on trend with the "show now shop now" fashion movement. 

On Saturday, September 17, Style South hosted the finale runway show at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta. Hundreds of guests and VIPs sipped on champagne at the luxury shopping destination while taking their seats and eagerly awaiting the runway show which showcased the latest looks from Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, Canali, Les Copains and Etro.

Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet opened the show with their signature edgy glam for the modern woman. Canali followed with a classic collection of menswear. They featured a black and white houndstooth trench that stole the show. The third collection, by Les Copains, was an ethereal show-stopper with it's lace, layering and proportion. Closing out the annual Style South with a collection of menswear and womenswear was Etro. No one mixes color and pattern more successfully and elegantly than Etro.

The Shops Buckhead Atlanta have a winner on their hands and I bet they're already planning for next year!

Jeffrey Fashion Cares: SNEAK PEEK

This is a preview to fashion Heaven.

I repeat, it's only a preview ... to go beyond the pearly coutured gates, you'll have to attend the 22nd Annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares this Monday August 25th. But hurry because this event sells out! AND with .91 cents of every dollar raised last year going directly to the Atlanta Aids Fund and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Jeffrey Fashion Cares is as much about saving lives as it is about style. While Jeffrey Kalinsky and team have been busy curating an exquisite fashion show with designer labels like Lanvin, Saint Laurent, Dior, Oscar de la Renta and so many more, I've gotten a hold of drool-worthy detail shots of what we'll be treated to Monday night!

O-EM-GEE get ready to gasp:
