It was a mod, mod world on Thursday for Syracuse Fashion Week [14]. Set in the city’s Tech Garden [15], models paraded the runway, encompassing a different personality with every ensemble. Empire Brewery [16] joined the crowd and coupled hors d'oeuvres with the event’s signature beer, “Runway Rose.”
The Cheryl G Collection [17] was vibrant. Her designs varied in textures and with colors that consumed the senses with every model that walked by. Fayetteville’s L.L. Bean [18] brought in bright checkered shirts, transforming the classic khaki bottom effortlessly. It was anyone’s guess that Boom Babies [19] would storm the runway with a series of galactic, black-and-white striped dresses and asymmetrical crop tops all adorned by models wearing pink, blue and green wigs.
In a show of force, BETTER. Skate Shop [20] distorted order on the runway with both models and attire. The collection combined slick, comfortable and chic streetwear, inviting guests from every corner to get a closer look and awe.
The night saw diversity in talent, guests and style. The modern, the edgy, and the classic were seamlessly morphed.
This show is one of a few lined up for Syracuse Fashion Week [21] this week.
