I just got back from the Redbull Space at 40 Thompson Street for She by Sheree’s first Fashion Week presentation!
I ran up to the venue (fashionably late of course), and was met by a crush of people anxiously anticipating the Real Housewife’s New York debut:
The place was packed to the gills with fashionistas, stylists, bloggers, editors, and fans of Sheree and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Sheree presented the collection in stages, with groups of 3-5 girls showing items for half hour intervals. Take a look:
Sticking to a color palette of gray, black, royal blue, and yellow, Sheree offered viewers slinky dresses with ruched sides and cut out back details, high waisted wide legged pants, and cowl neck tanks worn with tulip pleated shorts.
Using lace, satin, light weight wool, and a bit of leather, she fashioned a line suited for a thirty something who stays on the social circuit, and needs a plethora of interesting outfits for hosting or hitting the town:
While the vision and design aesthetic were sound, Sheree’s collection still suffered from slightly poor construction and questionable fabric choice:
Creasing and tugging across the hips, wrinkles, and awkward draping made some of the items look much cheaper than their reported $200 and up price point. All in all, however, it was a great effort by Sheree, and here’s hoping she continues to refine her craft:
After the show I caught up with some of my fellow attendees.
I said wassup to my blogging buddy Rae Holliday of StuffFlyPeopleLike.com and chatted it up with BET’s Harlem Heights alum and handbag designer Briana.
Caught up with Sheree’s hairstylist Lawrence, who was working it in a pair of knee high black boots and jeweled jacket topped off with an orange Birkin Bag.
Finally met British import and sunglasses designer Stevie Boi (who we wrote about here) who was wearing a pair of his inventive shades with skinny cut offs and boots.
And parlayed with a host of other fashionable folks!
I also had to dip backstage and interview the woman of the hour:
What do you think of She by Sheree’s New York debut?
