With New York Fashion Week kicking off this week, fashionistas from everywhere will be flocking to the Big Apple for all of the non-stop shows and soirees. Including me, as I will be hosting the STYLE360 shows and parties which kick off on Monday with the launch party for Jonathan Cheban’s Batte Collection. Fashion + Champagne + Parties + Caffeine=my FW diet! Should be fun though! Here is the official press release for STYLE360 Fall 2012.
A-List Communications (www.A-ListCommunications.com) is pleased to announce STYLE360’s semi-annual New York Fashion Week showcase for Fall/Winter 2012. Over the years, the program has been home to dozens of fashion shows and events, welcoming Abbey Dawn by Avril Lavigne, bebe, the Kardashian’s for DASH, Malan Breton, Nikki Lund and Richie Sambora’s WTB Clothing, Patricia Fields, Pete Wentz’s Clandestine Industries, Rodarte, as well as philanthropic events such as the Susan G. Komen Pink Dress Collection.
This season, STYLE360 will again position itself as a leading fashion stage and platform of New York Fashion Week by hosting a selection of high-profile fashion shows and see-and-be-seen parties between February 13 – 15th, 2012.
“We’re excited to celebrate the first installment of STYLE360 for 2012, and with new partnerships in place this season, and an ever-present focus on new and innovative collections, February 2012 is set to be the leading off-site destination for Fall/Winter 2012 New York Fashion Week,” states Executive Producer, David Manning, President of A-List Communications.
Kicking off the Fall/Winter 2012 STYLE360 fashion season at CATCH Roof on February 13th, is E! TV Reality Star, Jonathan Cheban’s launch party for his new men’s collection “BATTE Clothing”. Day two of the STYLE360 fashion schedule will feature runway shows at the Metropolitan Pavilion South Hall, with the return of MALAN BRETON FANTôME kicking things off. Global fashion powerhouse bebe is back on the runway for the fifth consecutive season with their bebeBLACK collection featuring music by famed DJ trio, The Misshapes. STYLE360 is also welcoming back SACHIKA, the identical twin fashion designer duo who will present a collection inspired from a short-movie they wrote & directed that will open their runway: “IVANKA…If We Ever Meet Again”. With both Miss USA & Miss Universe confirmed to walk their runway & a surprise live performance, SACHIKA will close day one with a big bang.
The final day of shows, February 15th, will begin with the EMU Australia Fall 2012 fashion collection. The day continues with a runway collection from THEIA, which is bound to bring on a high profile roster of celebrity attendees and surprise appearances. STYLE360 will then close with a special finale fashion show from MonopolyTM by Junk Food Art House, which will transform the catwalk into a living MonopolyTM game. STYLE360 will come to an end with the NYFW Sports & Style VIP closing party at SL Nightclub. The closing party will be hosted by SI Supermodel Jessica White with special guests from the NFL, Nate Burleson of the Detroit Lions and David Nelson of the Buffalo Bills and a special performance from The Voice’s Raquel Castro.
