Phoenix Fashion Week: Spring into Fashion

This week marks a complete full circle of Simply Audree Kate. Although SAK launched in June 2012, last March I was invited to my first fashion show, MIM Rocks Fashion. I was beyond excited that Phoenix Fashion Week sought me out and asked me to attend as media! I had the opportunity to meet fellow inspirational bloggers who I have kept in contact with, and met professionals who have since been my mentors and role-models.

Spring into Fashion was at the Arizona Center this past Saturday and it is one of my favorite Phoenix Fashion Week events of the year because it highlights top stylists in Arizona! This year’s featured stylists were paired with notable local retailers to showcase top male and female spring 2014 trends.

The lineup included: Rochelle York and Clothes Minded, Yekatherina Bruner and Allie Ollie, Vanessa Gonzales and Fresh Start Treasures, Jessica Hunter and 7 Diamonds, and the show ended with Jenesis Laforcarde and Divaz Boutique. Below are my favorite looks from each show.

Thank you Phoenix Fashion Week for the amazing front row seat this year and for helping me kickstart my career last year at MIM!

My favorite looks for spring were from Vanessa Gonzalez’s cohesive collection of soft pastels and whites! Congratulations to all of the stylists; the show was amazing and I can’t wait for the rest of Phoenix Fashion Week’s 2014 events. Who is ready for fashion week in October?! We are!
