break free foundation
Special Thank You to Alexandra Nyman for the chance to cover this incredible show. Starting with favorite parts, in no order.
1) Runway on floor. There was no disconnect between models / designers and attendees. By disconnect I mean crowd was able to feel more like a part of the show than only observing.
2) Everyone was made to feel like they were an essential part of the show. Main focus was on fashion / designers / models (obviously), vendors / attendees / staff / volunteers were an essential part of the event. Rephrase: if anyone or aspect was missing, event would have been less successful / taken a hit.
3) Breaks in between designers. Excellent pacing of fashion show with entertainment / speaker breaks in between designers. Each designer's creations were unique and interesting to say the very least. Added variety increased attention to them. Avoiding any possibility of "zone out". Catching people off guard and maintaining complete focus on all aspects of event.
4) Main focus of Break Free Foundation is recovery / mental health issues. The did an excellent job of presenting their points in a subtle way. Incorporating importance of these issues without being overbearing and forceful about it.
Another special Thank You: everyone at the event (models / designers / behind the scenes / security / vendors / staff / volunteers / everyone at Break Free Foundation. Like to give credit to everyone who makes an event happen.
No, didn't forget about the fashion part. Scroll down for opinions from someone who knows very little about the topic. Hey, only being honest!
Scroll down for video review / all the photos (fashion: by designer). Feel free to leave a comment! A sincere apology if some photos are not perfect. Lesson learned: don't try to photo a fashion show on less than 5 hours sleep.

Heritage India Fashions
Combining exotic elegance of India with styles I see walking around Manhattan. Scroll through and see what I mean. Traditional styles / formal wear for any occasion / more casual for going out. Creations are for men and women.
Just us kids
Going for a more formal side of fashion, a majority of these creations will place focus on you at any high-end restaurant or major event. With a variety of styles figure what fits YOU the best. Two swimsuits (female) provided a sample of how great you will look at beach / pool!
sonal couture
Excellent variety for almost any formal / party occasion. Another designer who strives to help find what defines YOU (male / female). Formal dresses / suit combinations for high end parties. Bright colors made me think of New Year's Eve or warmer party / event themes. One dress (multi-color on bottom: more Mardi-Gras style. Darker colors help you explore a different side of your personality.
julissa designs
Going for a more office party style (with a few exceptions) / business professional here. These creations will help you command a meeting. Provide that extra edge to confidence when meeting a client. Office party: You will have no problem feeling relaxed while looking your absolute best.
oit fitness
Working out (gym / street / public) does not mean you can't look great and hot! OIT Fitness merges true style with flexibility to exercise. I know, everyone who creates workout wear does the same thing. I see commercials for both men and women. OIT shows how simplicity can be unique and at the top of personalized style.
raccoon guts
Definitely different on this one! Raccoon Guts goes for it all in the most unique way. You may be thinking this would be great for Halloween or a horror movie. Why not show off your darker edge at a party / get together? Why not stand out and maybe meet new people over conversation about your style? Why be like everyone else at an event? You are an individual time to show it off!!!!
rehab studios
Time for the more casual / everyday side of your personality. Looking for something to wear around the house or head out for shopping? Still want to look / feel great? Bingo! These are styles you want to wear! Adding an original touch to what can be "boring" clothes. Taking the everyday up a few levels. Add in definitely unique summer / beach wear. Using flowers to cover breasts, interesting tan lines... Seriously, this edge connects with nature and a more 60's / hippie flare. Not in the ok "retro" "old styles" are popular again. More of a new interpretation / invention of that time period.
