Scene It: CFDA Fashion Incubator Atlanta

Last Wednesday I attended the CFDA Fashion Incubator cocktail party at the Buckhead W. The event was held at the Whiskey Blue Lounge to honor the Council of Fashion Designers of America's rising stars. Guests had the opportunity to view collections by the Burkman Brothers, WHIT, Daniel Vosovic and Emanuela Duca. I was so excited to attend since this was the first time the CFDA & W hotels ever held an event outside of New York.

Located on the W hotel rooftop, Whiskey Blue is already one of the most luxe lounges in Atlanta, setting the standards for any chic and sexy after 5 affair. Guests where offered sweet sips upon arrival and small bites through out the night. The hotel's new resto Cook Hall catered the event, serving up bacon wrapped shrimp, chicken simosa, beets with goat cheese crumble and beef sliders topped with crispy onion strings.

Great music bumped through the space but the usual dance floor was transformed into a fashion spectacle. Models circulated throughout the event on a platform, giving guests ample time to review the pieces as well as  the inspiration behind the collection on a moving screen. The event was very interactive as the designers mixed and mingled with guests, granting them one on one feedback about their current collections.

WHIT

I loved seeing all the collections but my favorite designers were Whitney Pozgay for WHIT & Daniel Vosovic. To begin with they were some of the nicest people, super humble and full of laughs, they were eager to answer questions and take pictures.

Me and WHIT :)

My favorite look from Daniel was a sheer tangerine maki dress with pleated details.

And from WHIT's Spring 2013 collection, a tangerine tank and leafy green maxi skirt with an obi style waist wrap. As you can see next spring tangerine is happening and the Pantone color 2013, Emerald is already in full affect.

WHIT

I also obsessed over Whitney's DIY zipper necklace. Need one of my own ASAP.

As for myself, my entire outfit was all black with a pop of cranberry, wedge boots and a little bit of bling.

  

Details of outfit will be on my next post :)

Needless to say I had fantastic time! The W and CFDA partnership was a perfect union and hope they'll continue you to bring events like this back to Atlanta!
