Fashion Woodlands Makes Its Inaugural Debut

Mar 15 2015

Crave Luxury Auto played host to the inaugural Fashion Woodlands “New York Style” fashion event earlier in the week, which benefitted the Greater Woodlands Public Art Foundation (maintains the sculptures located throughout The Woodlands) and The Way Home Project. The event was founded by Theresa Roemer- Houston entrepreneur, clothing designer and owner of the country’s largest closet. It featured six of Houston’s “top” designers- Chloe Dao, Jonathan Blake, David Peck USA, Amir Taghi, Lucho and Theresa Roemer. Guests were treated to a red carpet entrance and VIP pre-party full of exotic cars, luxury jewelry vendors, a bar and light bites.

The show opened with remarks by abc13‘s (and emcee) Sonia Azad, followed by a performance by hip-hop artist Rocko Stedy. He, along with models Thaddeus and Leslie; got the audience pumped up for the show. We were also treated by a celebrity appearance by Real Housewives of Atlanta ‘s Porsha Williams. She had been personally invited by Theresa and actually had two outfit changes (wearing Theresa’s brand). Porsha explained to me (earlier in the evening) that she ‘loves how [Theresa’s] clothing looks on women with curves. The shape, lines and fabric are flawless and comfortable.’

The show began with Chloe Dao, who’s collection of printed, color-blocked, easy-breezy dresses were a crowd-pleaser. It took her a mere week and a half to complete the collection. The prints resembled thick brush strokes that take on the dawn of perfectly angled geometric lines. We move on to view the latest trends in menswear from Lucho– a menswear shop located in upscale Uptown Park. I must say, the men in this segment were VERY easy on the eyes…just saying…Jonathan Blake and Amir Taghi showcased their beautiful collections that were also on the Fashion Houston 5 runways (read more about their collections HERE and HERE). Theresa Roemer presented her Spring/Summer 2015 collection for her True & Real brand, that focused on basic blacks and whites (which are staple pieces that should be in every women’s wardrobe), while accenting the line with blues and yellows. Roemer’s line is easily interchangeable, in that it can be taken from day to evening. The knit heavy line highlighted the point that the average woman-on-the-go now has a go-to brand that is comfortable and figure-flattering. The last brand to walk the runway was David Peck USA. His Spring/Summer 2015 collection is a continuation of Fall and reminiscent of David’s upbringing in New Mexico. It also paid homage to his Grandmother, who had recently passed away. The 70’s inspired gowns were colorful in hue, yet simple in silhouette. The ruffle detail and draping added extra femininity. Overall, each designer brought their own unique personalities to the table for The Woodlands first (and certainly not the last) major fashion event.

Fashion Woodlands will be held in the Fall every year. There will also be a second annual fashion show in October (2015).
