ANTI / 440 Productions: Fall/Winter Fashion Show Press Recap

Cue up, N.E.R.D. - Anti-Matter !!!!
(Link provided because you should know by now there is a soundtrack to everything we write.)
2019, was fashion packed! And we mean PACKED. Not quite sure what’s in the air but Milwaukee has been moving into a very stylish direction, where fashion is definitely a part of the culture and in high demand along with our many other creative skill sets (i.e. music, art and “finessing”). With that being said the last event we covered showed us just how much “fashion” is lingering in the wings for 2020.
We were invited to the ANTI Clothing Co. / 440 Production Fall Winter Fashion Show held at No Studios (1037 West McKinley Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53205) on Dec. 27th, 2019. When we arrived the venue was packed! Some faces we knew, other faces were unfamiliar, and many of them looked young and new to the scene. Off the ramp, to the stage, and write down into the center of the room the runway was set. And of course, our seats were right at the front of the action, just like we like them. (Thanks DCole)
From casual branded wear to “thrifted” goods, slight glamour and urban stylings, there was a little something to meet the taste of many. The line up showed off looks from ANTI Clothing Co. , Brick Layers Club, Views (414), One of One ThriftD Apparel, Amor Corleone, Kaizn. World. Wide, and Trusted Kicks (Sorry if we missed anybody, next time send us an appearance list *wink wink*).
We could go down a list of looks we liked or hated but that's not why we show up for fashion shows. To each is own and our flavor of the month could be high fashion today and garbage tomorrow. But the STYLING & TECHNIQUE honeyyyyyyyy, we will go there!
Though some of the brands mentioned appeared to be just T-SHIRT brands ( Yeaaaaaaa, we said it. Don’t be mad. It is what it is), there styling, however, was on point! The casual quirk, individual model persona highlighted through the clothes, brand culture flexed. . . a t-shirt never looked so good.
Our favorite pieces: The two-piece combos from Amor Corleon, Reversible bomber jacket by Brick Layers Club, and the Views 414 Pre-Vision:1 Tee from the back!
Now for technique, MODELS slowwww dooowwnnnnn! We were eager to see the looks but couldn't capture the moment. Walk, give personality and then strike a pose. Hold it. Count to four, then repeat. It's the recipe to making a lasting impression on the runway. A few brands kept us engaged, Views 414, Kaizen. World. Wide and One of One gets an honorable mention for the quirk. #WeSeeYou . And AWWWWWW to Trusted Kicks for bringing out the kids!

We enjoyed our time at the ANTI / 440 Production Fall/ Winter Fashion Show and appreciate the holistic approach to putting on an event. Drinks at the bar, DJ, Mr. New York dropping that fire, Creative Host AWill, and performances by two CopyWrite Magazine featured music artist Von Alexander and Renz Young. It was the place to be and a great way to end our event coverage the year. We hope to see more dope collaborations like this in the future.
Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep that -ish local!

Fashion Friday - Edessa’s School of Fashion (Fashion Extravaganza!!!)
/Haute List: Follow the Future
This was a night to remember! The event was an open door event at the Merriment! Beautiful lighting and delightful cocktails with fashionable atmosphere. I must say I was pleased!
Walking to the registration table I was greeted by the infamous Lynn-Speller (Academic Dean and Lead Developer at Edessa School of Fashion) the star of it all. Upon entry, I was able to connect with many familiar faces. #SupportTheLocal
Sitting in the front row I got to see one of Milwaukee’s Musical Artist Lex Allen perform live. He seems to have injured himself the night before and came into the event with the Legendary Pink Crutch and Bandages, setting the scene in full fashionable essence just in time for the show.
The Fashion Designer pieces were on point! (We need more of that here) and I’ve been asking to come to something that would “WOW’s” me. The Event DID JUST THAT! By the end of the show, we had time to meet and greet with the models and designers, networking at its best! I am happy CW got the opportunity to be present for such a great show. It keeps us inspired.
Keep inviting us to your fashion events, you never know, we might just invite you to be apart of our next fashion feature.
OH! & HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNN!
