well as a well-known personality and host for New York Fashion Week events.
Desmond brought the flare of New York Fashion Week to Mondawmin Mall for the“ EthniCITY x Fenty x Shoe City” event. The Shoe City store was transformed into a dance hall as guests jammed to their favorite Rihanna hits during the VIP reception. Bre-Z who plays Freda Gatz on Fox’ s hit show Empire was on hand to host the event. She welcomed guests to the event and was on hand to sign autographs and take pictures.
Celebrity Chef, Robert Stewart all the way from California catered the special event. When the show began, models strutted down the multiplatform runway; all eyes were on the signature pieces from the Fenty Collection.
Desmond explained,“ When planning something like this, I keep urban diversity in mind. I’ m a stylist. I always have the client in mind.” He continues,“ In this case, I was interested in cultivating an edgy feel to compliment the Anti theme of Rihanna’ s latest album.”
What’ s next for the DC designer, Desmond Handon? He is focusing on his 2016 Fall men’ s jewelry collection which launched on October 1. Shoe City has also signed him to produce their annual fashion show.
