Birmingham Fashion Week 2015 Recap!

Birmingham Fashion Week 2015 kicked off exactly one week ago and it was absolutely incredible.  It's amazing being around all of that type of energy.  People that are supporting their friends, family, loved ones... and those of us that are in love with fashion!  Here's my recap and let's start with the designers!

I love seeing designs from the "Emerging Designers".  There is truly some awesome undiscovered talent out there.  I know how hard it is to get a clothing label off the ground.  But I'm wishing these ladies much luck!  Here are my favorites:
Emerging Designer - Leslie Beattie
Emerging Designer - Kayla Sherman
Emerging Designer - Kenya Buchannan
Emerging Designer WINNER - Shan Latris!

I love the local retailer shows.  It's a true representation of our Southern Style here in Birmingham!  These are my two favorites!
Monkee's of Mountain Brook - Birmingham Fashion Week 2015

 And for the finale, BFW founder Heidi Elnora!

Heidi gave a beautiful speech afterwards about following your dreams no matter how you started out in life.  It was a wonderfully fabulous show and I can't wait until next year!
