Kahindo Mateene, a Ladybrille designer to watch, recently showed her latest collection during New York Fashion Week. Read her note to us below:
2013 has started off on am AMAZING note. Modahnik was selected out of over 70 applicants to showcase at the Harlem Fashion Row fashion show last week, Thursday, February 7,2013 during New York Fashion Week.
This was a major and incredible opportunity and our first time showing during New York Fashion Week. 4 designers were then selected out of the 7 finalists to show at NYFW this September and I am so excited to say Modahnik made the final cut and will be back to NYFW this September! Twice in one year is a dream come true!
We showed the FW13 collection in front of press, buyers and a panel of judges that consisted of Model Tyson Beckford, Idil Tabanca – Editor-in-Chief of BULLETT Magazine, Shawn Outler – Macy’s Group VP of Fashion Forecasting & Operations, Leased Businesses and Multicultural Development, and Tatijana Shoan – Editor-in-Chief of AS IF Magazine!
