Hauteaholics Anonymous Runway Soiree
Farrad's music was great and the dancers were entertaining. The crowd definitely enjoyed it! Keep your eye on this guy because I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of him! After a moving performance, Kristen Schaal, the host for the show, took the stage. She was funny and entertaining. She shared a fun story about Kate Moss. And did her rendition of the catwalk. She was funny and the crowd loved her!

She had the crowd laughing and I know that the girls could especially relate. Then it was time for the designers to have their creations unveiled.
The next designer was Hunter Dickson which was cofounded by Hunter Lingle, designer, and Jennifer Dixon, business development. This is a contemporary line that has been featured in ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, IN STYLE, Lucky Magazine and Fox News. Some well known celebrities that have been seen in this line are Sophia Bush, Lindsay Lohan, supermodel Marisa Miller, VH1's Janell Snowden and the Today's Show Natalie Morales to name a few. Here are some the designs.
Next to show is designer Kara Janx who was a finalist on Project Runway's Season 2. Her collection is fresh, fun and extremely wearable. Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Debra Messing, Rhianna, Sarah Jessica Parker and many other fashionable ladies are clients and fans of her work. Her collection has also appeared in Elle, In Style, Harper's Bazaar, Lucky Magazine, Vogue and WWD. Take a look at some of her designs.
And last but certainly not least was designer, Erna Leon, who was awarded the "Best in Class: Luxury Denim" award in July of 2008 at Supima's inaugural Design Contest for Emerging Talent. In May 2009 she opened her own boutique within the Edge NY store located on Bleecker Street. These are some of her designs.

Major thank you to Sari Schwartz and Eva Shure, Co-Founders of Hauteaholics Anonymous and Justine McCarthy of Simply Chic PR. This was one of the best shows I attended during fashion week and I loved all of the designs. They all had their own individual style so it was hard to say which one was my favorite.
We got our VIP gift bags at the end of the night which held a bunch of goodies in a huge gold bag that held everything courtesy of mark. that had a bunch of their cosmetics and a nice surprise was the CD of Farrad, which is a must buy! As you can see, we had big smiles on our faces because we had such a great time!!
