Hillary Flowers Fashion Show and Designer birthday.

Flower’s moved to New York City with no job- two suitcases and straight out of University. Now she’s a singer-songwriter, club promoter, successful designer and boutique-owner. She majored in studio art at the University of Wisconsin, Madison with a focus on performance art, and has made an indescribably unique name for herself ever since.

Bulky and exotic jewels, authentic belts, sandals, heels and shoes, worn against a backdrop of windy, elastic leg wear–resembled the red stripes of a candy cane—in silver, gold and bronze metallic colors. Purple, tight fitting dresses and knit flowers sewn onto arm-sleeves, borders of hats and leg wear woke, Flower’s signature insertion, woke audiences to recognize originality.

Turquoise brilliantly shook the runway, as one model in a long, fur vest accentuated by black turtleneck followed in a light, long-sleeved dress with tail and wings. My particular favorites were the rose, pink fur leg warmers accompanying the girl’s grey, baggy over-the-knee dress and the high ruffle-collared chiffon gown that seemed to evoke an almost regal air.
