Fashion society Club Flava produced its very own fashion show in the MSC Auditorium last Wednesday. Hosted by Tori Breedlove and one of the founders of the club, Delvon “Chanel” Lawson, Club Flava put on a truly impressive show that showcased clothing fashions from various PVAMU designers. Some of the design names and collections in the show included up and coming 6Figgaz Clothing, Perfect Ten, The Virgo Collection, Throja, Long Island Iced Tea, The Camille Collection and Halimah Saafire’s Mooniez. Nothing less than sensational, the show not only featured oiled and ripped models, but included PV vocalist, Jay Stone, a serenading saxophone selection, and an entertaining “pump-walking” contest initiated by emcee, “Chanel.” As the prize, “Chanel” gave away a pair of his trademark Chanel earrings to the winner. The night was filled with cheers from the audience as svelte and strapping models sported original and unique fashions and vogue dos. One of the highlights of the night included, Mooniez Clothing designer, Halimah Saafire’s dramatic stair cased entrance during the second half of the night.
Besides the glitz and glamour of the night, Club Flava’s production was also a winner because of the main reason for the occasion-the clothes. The keyword of the night surely was variety as the designers’ styles ranged from 6Figgaz’ and Throja’s urban appeal to the Couture/Urban fashions of Perfect Ten to some of the more skimpy, jungle-themed swimwear in the earlier hours of the night.
So how did the show rate? “It was very nice, professional and had variety. Variety meaning that not all of the models were pencil thin. That was good to see,” says Angela Williams, a freshman. At heart, Club Flava’s fashion extravaganza was a real success. The clothes were beautiful and original, the models could be described as simply eye-candy (for both sexes), the overall presentation (lighting, music, etc.) was professional and organized, and the entertainment value was high due to the charismatic emcees and musical performances.
