BGG was invited to attend the festivities of Brooklyn’s Fashion Week(end) this past weekend, but because I was out-of-town I wasn’t able to go. You know I had to have someone cover this fashionable event, so I appointed my BGG correspondent YG to bring us the lowdown on the popular borough’s fashion fete. Here’s her take on the shows:

Brooklyn Fashion Weekend was at Northside Piers parking lot. The parking lot space was transformed into a glam fashion event (or as glam as a parking lot can be) with live music, beautiful artwork and of course beautiful models. I got there Saturday around 5pm for a cocktail reception that had a wide variety of liquors. The fashion shows started an hour late (ofcourse) and I got seated in the 2nd row – not bad!

The first designer to show was Catalin Botezatu. The line consisted mainly of swim-wear. The ladies’ swim-wear was over-the-top with crazy hair, leather gloves and massive jewelry. It was sort of had a Palm Beach resort meets Dominatrix vibe.

Miss Bruno’s line was tied in well with fancy scarves on each model with pockets!

Color Heritage had a vivid and interesting collection, but nothing totally outrageous.

My absolute favorite one was Catou. They put on an amazing performance of a staged martial arts fight to open the show that was followed by a brilliant fashion show consisting of geisha-inspired lingerie corsets with fur! There were also pretty spring-like dresses and lots of beautiful jewelry piled on in a very tasteful way.

There was a consistent trend of feathers around the eyes that I’ve been seeing alot in fashion magazines.

Joan Vaccianna’s show was fantastic too. She has a chic, yet urban twist to her garments.

I had a great time on Saturday! 🙂

Sunday was a disaster! One of the fashion line’s can be best described as clowns meets hobos. I left after 3 shows and 1 awful performance!

That wraps it up!

The City of Angels has always been one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve had an affinity toward L.A ever since I made my first trek there to visit family back in 1998. It was beautiful, the

With most of us being out of school and work in honor of President’s Day, I decided to take the day off from BGG. In the meantime, you can check out a Q&A I did with with Glam about Brown Girl Gumbo. I’ll be back tomorrow stirring up everything that chic brown girls (and guys) love!

Even though he left this earth 40 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s memory and legacy are still alive today. We BGs and guys should be especially grateful for his contribution toward making our lives better in this country. His unyielding desire for all people to be treated equally despite the color of their skin was remarkable. If it weren’t for his courage and others civil rights activists like him, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Take a moment out of your day to stop and reflect and honor this outstanding man’s legacy. Be sure to check out your local newpapers or go online to find MLK-related events taking place in your area today.

Also, be sure to watch Oprah’s special show today (check your local listings) in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

He may be gone physically, but his dream will live forever!

Unfortunately, I am unable to post my favorite fabulous photos today. My computer is not getting an Internet connection for some reason. Therefore, I’m using my Blackberry to write this posting.

Anyway, I’ll be back next week after the holidays. Who knows, if my computer is functioning properly this weekend I may post the photos of the week.

Happy Holidays!
