New York, NY. September 2011 – Once again, the Women’s Mafia and Marcy Clark are hosting an un-missable New York Fashion Week event. This September the Women’s Mafia Fashion Show will feature the winners of their signature “Are You Runway Ready” contest, in an exclusive show at Tela Design Studio in the Meatpacking District on September 9th, 2010 at 6pm.
The Women’s Mafia signature catwalk competition lionizes the best independent labels by featuring winning designers to an exclusive, high profile invite-only event attended by press, top stylists, celebrity designers and key members of New York’s Design cognoscenti.
The Spring/Summer 2011 Women’s Mafia Fashion Show will feature:
PRIESTESS NYC by Cody Ross, is a line celebrating directional fashion, artisanship, subversive tendencies, extravaganza and fun. His label already has a certifiably cool fan-base and cult-following including Natalie Portman, Juliette Lewis, Elly from La Roux and Björk and to name a few. He vigorously designs and curates PRIESTESS NYC – an avant-garde womenswear/unisex label (launched in 2008) that has tons of edge, sex-appeal and artistic “fabulosity.” The PRIESTESS NYC atelier is located in the West Village, NYC.
PHUONG MY, a San Francisco based designer, will make her New York Fashion Week debut with the Women’s Mafia. Known for her exquisite hand-sewn work for private customers in California, she creates garments for women who love to look beautiful all the time. All her garments are delicately beautiful and designed to fit and perfect the body form. She loves to drape fabric to play with form and shape to express different ways of the silhouette.
DOMINIQUE AUXILLY taught herself to sew at the age of 16 while attending Fashion Industries High School in NYC, majoring in Fashion marketing. She then continued her studies in Fashion Marketing at L.I.M College in NYC while designing custom dresses at home. She gained a clientele by wearing her own designs to parties. Dominique Auxilly has been worn by Nicki Minaj, Angela Simmons, Dawn Richards, Rocsi, host of 106 and park and Def Jam recording artist, Electrick Red, and has been featured in various print and online magazines.
Guests of the event will enjoy Chocolate and Wine tastings by ChocoVin, a collaboration between two Women owned business – Luxx Chocolat and Winerium. The theme of the tastings will be “Edible Couture.” Our event hosts, Tela Design Studio, the home of Tela Beauty Organics (the 1st FDA certified organic hair and skincare line) by celebrity stylist Philip Pelusi, will provide coveted gift bags and exclusive perks for guests.
