Emerald Images Presents… THE FREEDOM FASHION SHOW

Well, I’ve done it again and participated in another fashion show. This was just as great as the last. Of course, I stressed out about this was just as much as I did the last one. The purpose of this years show was to spread awareness of sexual assault. A portion of this year’s proceeds went to St. Jude House for Women & Children who are victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

This year a scene consisted of each female model walking down the runway with a young girl that’s apart of their lives. The purpose of this scene was to portray a bond that the two people share with each other and represent how this relationship should be an open one for communication so no one has to go through these types of traumatic experiences alone. It was also to symbolize how someone will always be there when you need him or her.

We had several vendors at the event, such as ChillMode Clothing, Elegant Lap Scarfs, and Salathia Johnson-Nunn from Salon Bonjour. DJ Flex Luger DJ’d the event, while Damion Smith MC’d. There was also a performance by a dancer from Asia’s Dance Factory. The fashion show was great the models and audience definitely enjoyed themselves.
