Year in Review (Fashion)

Wednesday, December 4th, 2013

Who says Syracuse isn’t a fashion destination. This year,  after some delays, we finally got to experience the Syracuse Fashion Weekend Runway Show (above). There’s something about a runway show that brings out the best in the audience and the models. Street fashion coverage is good, but the experience of a big-time fashion event is just what this town needed.

Special thanks to Moda International, LSK Modeling Agency, the designers, and of course the genius collaboration known as, Lemon Elefant (sounds).

This is a post about canines and couture. After attending the Leatherstocking Cluster Fall Dog Show on Friday, we were not only impressed by the breeds and the training, but also by the style exhibited by the breeders and owners. Most participants were impeccably attired in designer gear, and some looked ready for runways themselves. From our conversations with judges and others, this chic fashion sense has always been a part of these shows. Maybe if the breeders don’t look good, the dogs won’t look (so) good.

The Mohawk hairstyle has numerous varieties, but its origins date back thousands of years. We saw this freshly quaffed version during a martial arts tournament.

Talk about a finale.

Walid Atallah’s design, mixed in with a perfect pageantry of precise presentation and the proper music, nearly sucked the air out of the room last night.  Many in the crowd rose to their feet, others reached for their smart phones or cameras. By the end of it all, his showmanship and designs were the talk of the show.
