Tampa, FL - On February 8-9, 2013, in the second floor of LSA Hall, four Tampa Bay entrepreneurs will see their vision fulfilled - the very first Christian Fashion Week in history. The two-day event will feature local and international designers presented with a challenge to design fashion lines that promote and respect stylish moderation instead of sexuality and excess. In spite of the values represented by the event, don't expect a "religious" atmosphere. The Christian Fashion Week team encourages attendees to expect high fashion and an electric night of music, style, and plenty of swag.
"We are so excited to be hosting an event that promotes stylish moderation in the form of a Fashion Week and encourages the Christian community to come out and show the world that wearen't afraid to be human beings who love to look great while appreciating inner and outer beauty," said Jose Gomez, partner in Christian Fashion Week, LLC and president of the Tampa-based Fashion Industry Association.
An exclusive women-only segment of the show will feature swimwear by some of today's hottest designers. "Yes - Christian women go to the beach and wear bathing suits, "commented Mayra Gomez, partner and principle of TruModel, a character development and training program for girls. "Let's not be too religious about it. We want to look great while still finding swimwear that will keep us modest. That's the message we are promoting"
Tamy Lugo, stylist and one of the top fashion bloggers in TampaBay, works with designers to prepare for the show. "It's so much fun to hear the reactions from the designers we've been speaking to when they are presented with this challenge. It's inspiring to them and they are looking forward to showcasing their creations," said Tamy. Her husband Wil Lugo, a local photographer and graphic designer, will be producing the show with a vision to fuse New York and Miami to create a new experience. "We're working hard to ensure that everyone has a great time in an environment that feels like fashion, not a church event."
