Digital Moda Event

Last night, The Style Coalition co-organized an event that brought Fashion and Social Media together. We wanted to see exactly what would happen if we mingled Tech-Geeks with the Fabulous Fashion World. Well…It was MAGIC! Ideas were shared, cards were exchanged, and alliances were made. The evening was a success!
This particular event centered around emerging fashion designers showcasing their creations for leading fashion bloggers, tech and online media influencers. As a co-founder of Style Coalition, it’s our mission “to get designers, trendsetters, tastemakers and other in the business of fashion to respect that independent writers, bloggers and journalists are indeed influential and will continue to have a heavy hand in shaping the trends, purchases and ultimately, success, of fashion brands”.

I was thrilled to wear an outfit by one of the presenting designers – Gilles Montezin. As always, he is lovely to work with! As you can see from the pictures, the dress was beautifully beaded, and had implicit detail. I felt like Audrey Hepurn, purely elegant. Arriving back to the Bryant Park hotel at midnight, I still wasn’t ready to take the dress off! That… is a sign of a GREAT DRESS!
As I sat on our ridiculously comfortable hotel bed, enjoying a Turkey Club from room service, I thought about all the incredible people I had a chance to talk with. Most were entrepreneurs who were risking a lot by following their passion, and were more than willing to help another find success in their own venture. There’s a special bond between entrepreneurs, one that simply doesn’t exist in so many other areas of business. Cheers to all who figure out how to create a business out of something they LOVE doing!
