Revealing StyleWeek Designers

I thought it would be great to introduce you all to our fabulous designers for this upcoming StyleWeek.

This week I will shine the spotlight on Jonathan Joseph Peters.

Jonathan showed his collection at the inaugural StyleWeek and was also a contestant on Lifetime's hit reality television series, Project Runway, season 7. Jonathan is full of ideas, never afraid to push the limits and is great with direction which is why I am ecstatic to announce that he is now the Creative Director for StyleWeek Providence! Personally, getting the chance to work side by side with him, to know him as a friend and to witness his creative genius has been nothing short of inspiring. The anticipation in the ballroom for Jonathan Joseph Peter's runway show for last StyleWeek was tangible. The beautiful draping, neutral color palette, hand dyed fabrics and exaggerated collars were complimented by statement jewelry from House of Cach. Jonathan Peter's did not disappoint and left the crowd wanting more. Jonathan's Spring/Summer 2011 collection was just shown at Portland Fashion Week with rave reviews. Be prepared for vibrant prints, a Los Angeles inspired color scheme and maybe a few turbans for this spring, à la Jonathan Joseph Peters.

Style Ambassadors

It is official! Alex McCord & Simon van Kempen from Bravo's hit reality series, The Real Housewives of New York City will be StyleWeek Providence's very own Style Ambassadors. I speak for the entire team when I say that we are elated to have Alex and Simon be a part of StyleWeek! I had the pleasure of meeting them both in September during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week through Joseph Miceli-Magnone and Ed Garou (SWP Advisory Board members). StyleWeek will only continue to flourish with the help of fashion savvy New Yorkers. Alex has impeccable style with a vibrant personality and Simon will serve as a style icon for local menswear designers and encourage men to take more risks in their wardrobe choices. It was a no-brainer to want Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen as our Style Ambassadors. Alex and Simon will be attending StyleWeek Providence, January 2011.
