Fashion Week Nashville: Designer Profiles

Who: Shawn-Michelle Le Fleur
What: Thought’s on Fashion Week Nashville, what can guest expect from the collection being presented on Saturday, and also what are you looking forward to the most this week?

I am very excited to be a part of Nashville's very first Fashion Week. Nashville is a very special, artistic community so I am more than thrilled to see my new hometown spreading its wings into another creative area! I am excited to present my beautiful hair and accessory fancies to Nashville. These are so much fun. They range from casual day time looks to showstoppers for a night on the town. You can clip them in your hair or be creative and clip them to a blazer, belt, scarf, blouse- just about anywhere! People love them because they go with anything and are so versatile in how you can wear them. :)

'Shawn-Michelle Le Fleur designs are hair fancies and accessories for all occasions. People love to clip them in their hair and also to a blazer, belt, scarf, blouse, etc. Her designs dress everyone up from locals and celebs in her hometown of Malibu, Ca. to her now second home in Nashville, TN.
She says she absolutely loves getting to be a flower child since her parents are artist/musicians and she was raised by them to flourish in her creativity. These beautiful creations add sparkle and joy to any outfit, for any occasion and are loved by everyone at every age. The artist also does 'specialty occasion' designs for brides and events upon private consultation. Also, she is the author and illustrator of the all ages children's book about a flower who's namesake is the title- title is 'HOPE'.
"Creativity is a constant flow in my life," says Shawn-Michelle, "I'm so lucky. And somehow it always comes back to nature and flowers for me, as is reflected in most all of my life's work." She always signs everything with her signature name and drawn flower and ends all correspondences with an appropriate 'Flower Power' in lieu of a 'Sincerely' or 'Thanks'.
Look for nothing but amazing things to come from this multi-talented, Renaissance lady.

Shawn-Michelle Le Fleur runway show will take place at 3pm.

FWN Designer Profiles: Jacquelyn Brooks

Who: Jacquelyn Brooks
What: Thought’s on Fashion Week Nashville, what can guest expect from the collection being presented on Saturday, and also what are you looking forward to the most this week?

I'm very excited about my Nashville fashion debut! The lines I will be presenting are Resort 2010/2011 and Spring 2011. Resort is a woman's upscale casual wear line (think yacht wear), featuring luxury knits and woven prints in ivory and black colors with gold highlights. My inspiration for the resort line was the regal beauty of Michelle Pfeiffer's character in Scarface. My Spring 2011 line is more formal, including semi-formal dresses to formal wedding gowns. My fabric theme includes solid and floral prints in shades of coral/pink, mint greens, and ivory. My inspiration for the spring line was the innocent beauty of the late 1950's and early 1960's. I will be showing 20-25 pieces.

Jacquelyn Brooks runway show will take place at 10am. Jacquelyn is from Gainesville, FL and her designs include bridal, formal, semi- formal gowns and resort wear.

DAY 3: FASHION WEEK NASHVILLE: FASHION AND ART

Tonight I spent an amazing evening discussing Fashion Week Nashville, fashion blogging, careers, outlooks, and more variety of things that any fashionista would dream of discussing.

The Fashion and Art event was another event by Fashion Week Nashville and guest joined together at the local Belmont community coffee shop, FIDO in the Village to discuss photography and fashion over a cup of coffee.

There were some great topics discussed at the event including what the guest thought about Nashville Fashion Week and the guests were really excited to be apart of such a wonderful event. We discussed blogging, the ups and downs of being a blogger. We also learned about Belmont University student ran Clothing store (AMAZING). Everyone was able to ask questions including questions to Polly, Couture Fashion Magazine's Editor-in-Chief. Polly gave insight on the most difficult part of running a fashion magazine, where she expressed the advertisements being the most difficult. She also told the group about how excited and blessed she was for Fashion Week Nashville.

Fashion and Art was a great way to network and meet other members of the fashion community here in Nashville. If you didn't have a chance to come by tonight it's ok Fashion Week Nashville have more coming up.

I do apologize for the lack of pictures I got so caught up in all the wonderful discussions with everyone!
