Spread Your Wings Fashion Show

Ms. Cardona with photographers

The spread your wings fashion show hosted and created by Deborah Cardona with special guest Chrissy Monroe from VH1's Love & HipHop New York that took place on April 11th, was an amazing show complete with two very talented designers. The first is a local designer from New York City named Erica Jackson from Harlem, NY. As owner/designer of Hi Maintenance Custom Couture, and an emerging talent out of Canada making the New York debut of her collection is Beth Anne Pederson of Fantasy Elite Designs. 

 


Erika is a self taught entrepreneur who began her career as a young child transforming her relatives old t-shirts, accessorize, and broken jewelry to create one of a kind ensembles for her dolls. Having done the same thing in my early years of being fashionista understand how Erika's keen eye, and determination helped her to transform Hi Maintenance Custom Couture from is beginnings as a jewelry line into what she refers to as 'bold & sexy' her delectably custom pieces will make women feel alluring, and men rushing to to fill their ladies lingerie drawers with more amazing creations. 

 
 Our next designer, who is our neighbor to the North; and fluent in fashion is Beth Anne Pederson creator and designer of Fantasy Elite Designs. Debuting her collection for the first time in New York City, she entered the Big Apple with one purpose; and that's to serve up some piping hot FASHION! She showed up and SHOWED OUT! Rarely have I seen a starting designer who displayed the the quality of the craft as Beth Anne has. Her fantasy collection were made of two elements I'd never thought I would use together; which is whimsical and sexy. With the support of her family, Beth Anne has created a collection that has been perfected since she was a small child. Finding herself through fashion, and translating it into one of the most beautiful, interesting, fantasy world created for sexy confident women, I can't wait to see more of her collection in the future.

Throughout the show while the designers collections weren't the only pieces that graced the runway. Each model wore with their outfit a custom jewelry piece from Nitza Ortiz of Divas Little Things who was also one of the event's sponsors. The other sponsors include: Exclusive Vodka who provided the night refreshments, and  Melody Jefferson of FaceByMelody who provided the makeup artistry for the show. Each adding a visual element to the show that pulled everything together and made it fun and exciting to watch.

 
With special guest Chrissy Monroe seated front and center in the middle of the Spread Your Wings whimsical, fashion fantasy wearing a custom dress made especially for her by Erica Jackson of Hi Maintenance Custom Couture, Chrissy cheered, photographed, and contributed to the success of the event by interacting with each of the party-goers and giving encouraging words to the models and designers; especially the mother of designer Beth Anne Pederson who had also made the trip with her daughter from Canada to support her debut. Beth Anne's mom gave an emotional, heart felt introduction before her daughter's collection hit the runway that completely showed the depth of a mothers love and support of her child's dream, HATS OFF TO MOM! 

This being my first Fashion show attended at the Poets Den Gallery I was not disappointed with how wonderfully executed the event organizers. Complete with overhead projection of the sponsors that contributed to the event, the designers names were displayed while each of their beautiful, one of a kind collections graced the runway bringing elegance to the Spread Your Wings Fashion Show. 

ITS TIME FOR FASHION PEOPLE! 

The first is Ms. Erica Jackson's Collection of Hi Maintenance Custom Couture:
