Harlem Fashions

This year I totally avoided downtown Fashion Week, but luckily I had a chance to experience the Uptown version, which was a Salon-style soiree. Hosted by Donna Dove and featuring numerous Harlem designers such as The Grandmaster Taijay, Phillip Deccu and some offerings from the crew at Bebe Noir, this was a refreshing experience full of creative and warm people.
On the way, everyone was preppin' for Friday night.

Some of Donna's wonderful creations...
