STYLE360 is celebrating 10 years this season! A NYFW staple, STYLE360 has showcased fashion shows such as Rebecca Minkoff, Costello Tagliapietra, Mara Hoffman and Zaldy over the years, with performances by Wyclef Jean, Austin Mahone and Estelle and attended by celebs including Gerard Butler, Kim Kardashian, Keith Richards and Lauren Conrad. And while I usually served as the on-camera host for the festivities, I will be sitting out this season as I stay on the West Coast to take care of the newest addition to my family, my daughter. But the Red Carpet Roxy team will be on the scene, bringing you all of the action! And here are the event details.
A-List Communications (www.A-ListCommunications.com) is pleased to announce STYLE360’s 10th annual showcase at New York Fashion Week in September.
