Stylist is king.

At least at Phoenix Fashion Week’ s Spring into Fashion show that took place Friday night at the Arizona Center in Downtown Phoenix. Instead of the traditional fashion show where stylists stay behind the scenes, PHXFW put these hard-working fashionistas front and center, giving them a platform to show just how creative they can be.

The top 5 stylists in AZ partnered with local brands to showcase the best trends for springs. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Rochelle York & Clothes Minded Boutique

Rochelle York teamed up with one of our personal favorite business owners, Kim Kendall from Clothes Minded, to create an effortless yet, chic everyday look. Rochelle brought Clothes Minded to a completely new level on the runway with her combination of bright outstanding hues and fun versatile accessories.

She taught us how to make essential basics such as stripes and solids into fashionable works of art. What really caught our eye was the olive green leather belt paired with the white and tan striped maxi dress. This particular belt completed the look and gave it a true high fashion feel.

Yekatherina Bruner & Allie Ollie Boutique

Yekatherina opened her show with one of our favorite colors of this spring season, mint green. In her partnership with Allie Ollie boutique, she used the boutique’s signature prints to her advantage by making every look classy and cohesive.

She inspired us to think outside the box by mixing leather with chevron, and adding color to simple black and white combinations. Yekatherina captured the true essence of the boutique and each styling challenged us to see the outfits in a whole new light.

Vanessa Renee & Fresh Start Treasures

Vanessa Renee pleasantly surprised us this evening with her collaboration with Fresh Start Treasures boutique. The series of monochromatic and neutral tone outfits exuded spring couture. Each look was transitional from the workplace to cocktail hour with closet essentials like tweed blazers and shimmering pencil skirts.

What we loved about this collaboration was that it looked luxurious and expensive but, was in fact extremely affordable. Each piece was $20 or less which made us want to run to our nearest second-hand retail store and create our own Vanessa inspired look for the spring season.

Jessica Hunter & 7 Diamonds

Jesssica Hunter gave a lesson in modern style to all the boys in the crowd. Pairing 7 Diamonds‘ playful pattern shirts with unexpected accessories like Birkenstock sandals and a “Celfie” beanie was a fun twist on traditional men’s style.

Some things we particularly loved about the show were the half-tucked shirts and cool men’s jewelry. Overall, really awesome job Jessica! You showed Phoenix that there’s more to men’s fashion than tanks, board shorts, and boat shoes. Thank god.

Jenesis Laforcarde & Divaz Boutique

Jenesis Laforcarde killed it from the very beginning of her show. Her introduction video was confident and sassy, just like the show we were about to see. The show started off with Dolcessa Swimwear, which was recently picked up by Divaz boutique. Instead of using flowing fabrics and the island charm that Dolcessa is known for, Jenesis took to high Spice Girl pony tails, and body chains. And we were obsessed.

The show continued with some colorful, confident fashion and statement jewelry from Fresh Picks Style. Every detail of the show from the music, to the hair and makeup, to of course the styling was 100% Jenesis and that is what we LOVE seeing in a stylist’s show.

 

We thoroughly enjoyed Spring into Fashion. Warm weather and spring trends, we are ready for you!
