For spring, Nicole Miller took an imaginative trip to Panama. The Central American country, and its colorful textile tradition and craftsmanship, were major inspirations for the New York-based designer, who combined rich patterns, embroideries and prints with more metropolitan elements. Fitted dresses were trimmed with ruffles and featured graphic multicolor motifs, which also appeared on the jacquard sleeves of a utilitarian parka.

Playing with contrasts, Miller unconventionally used a high-end tweed fabric for a sporty bomber jacket paired with an allover-embroidered miniskirt, and crafted an anorak from romantic eyelet cotton. The collection’s focus on textures, sometimes created with embroideries of multicolor beads, was also evident in a pretty cotton sweater embellished with fringe and worn with fluid ruffled shorts.

“Feisty, unapologetic, insomnolence and YES, controversial. Like most others, I started from scratch. I was kid back then trying to make it through this harsh world, and a much harsher fashion scene. But with the help of the almighty, a mentor and off course, much hard work, I finally made it. I’m a fashion rebel which just mirrors my personality. I don’t think of things for the present, it always has to be in the future, which also helps me to be Avant-Garde. I’m a person who really wants to respect everyone and every culture, but unfortunately, I ended up breaking all the Taboos. I am most of the time a person enjouée, and I always make people laugh, but in the other hand, I fear crowds and most importantly, I love to surprise people.” – Rocky Gathercole , Metrovelvet

Sofia Davis, Editor-in-Chief of the Global Luxury Brands, Fashion Avenue News, Model World, The FAN Daily, The Editors Council and The Fashion Impire, will receive the Cultural Icon Award at the Harlem Fashion Week Opening Night Gala Black Tie Event.
Ms. Davis has been instrumental in the rise of the independent magazine movement by creating Fashion Avenue News Magazine in 2011 which quickly grew into a global luxury fashion brand. Her focus is the independent and emerging fashion industry talent that has been overlooked by most mainstream publications. “I want to give the independent/emerging fashion talent a platform to grow, a foundation that is global, upscale, and displays their talent in a positive way to the world.”
Ms. Davis has taken Fashion Avenue News from 0-360,000 email & print subscribers. She also writes The FAN Daily – a fashion blog (www.btetv.wordpress.com) that brings you up to the minute fashion industry news from around the world. Building on the need for platforms for the independent talent, she created Model World Magazine, which focuses on emerging models in the fashion industry. She also created The Editors Council, a group of independent magazine publishers/editors that come together to help each other continue and grow their publications. The Editors Council is open to all levels of industry talent, on-line, print and blog publishers.
Ms. Davis has a long history in the Fashion Industry. She worked as Director of Models at the World Famous Apollo Theater for 10 years where she featured 15 models a week, handling hair and make up. While at the Apollo, she developed BTE TV (Beauty Television & Entertainment), which stated out as an public access show and went on to become a full channel of paid advertisements reaching over one million people. As the online media changed the TV environment, she took her fashion focused TV show on line and rebranded it Fashion Avenue News.
Ms. Davis says “I want to thank Yvonne Jewnell for recognizing my hard work in the fashion industry. It means a lot when people appreciate what you have spent a lifetime doing”. Thank you.

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – A model walks the runway at the Julia Dalakian fashion show during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Russia
What happens when you get 10 powerful entrepreneurs on a panel in front of an inquisitive audience?
Solutions are found, that’s what happens.
I believe no matter what the problem, there is a solution.
I’m one for Networking. I was invited to “Catch My Lash” Beauty Event in Brooklyn on Saturday by my fellow Editor-in-Chief magazine owner, Ese of Enspire Magazine. The event was held at Brooklyn Exposure, 1401 Bedford Avenue, produced by Blanch. As most of you know, I don’t know Brooklyn and did not know if I would know anyone else there, but I went anyway, Googling my way along.
Upon arrival, I’m surprised by how many people I know and the professional set up. There were vendors and food, my kind of place. The surprise came when the panel started…
Each panelist introduced themselves, Supermodel Angela- of QVC, Boss Lady Wendy Isaac – Style the Wave, Ese of Enspire Magazine, Chefs, Make Up Manufacturers, Fashion Designers and more.
There were questions and answers, and then an audience member asked the critical question “Why Should Someone Patronize Your Businesses?” I had the perfect answer.
Why should someone purchase or read Fashion Avenue News Magazine or read our FAN Daily Fashion Blog.
Fashion Avenue News Magazine was created because years ago a model went to an Agency Open House and they told her she would NEVER MAKE IT IN THE MODELING BUSINESS. The model came to my office in TEARS. I was angry. I don’t feel that anyone should ever tell someone they cannot make it. My anger created Fashion Avenue News Magazine, a foundation for independent fashion industry talent, to have a platform and a place. We welcome everyone, as long as they are FABULOUS. Age, Height, Weight, Size, never determine if you can appear on our pages. We are here for you; we are your fashion family.
More conversation ensured and we came to the conclusion that we need to work harder to support each other businesses. It starts with you. Think of where you spend your money. If you are a small business, really think, because you can help other businesses stay in business by purchasing from them.
Change starts with YOU. If you want something different, you have to do something different.
It was wonderful sitting on the panel with these ladies as they were extremely inspirational. When you have a business and you’re under pressure or stress, it’s good to know there are other businesses owners that feel the same way, you are not in this by yourself, don’t feel alone. We are all working to keep our businesses afloat.
One thing I explained on the panel, I am You, I have no special SuperPower, I’m working hard on my business just like the next magazine, fashion designer or makeup artists. We chose this profession and no one said it would be easy, but nothing brings you happiness like having your own.
We can make it, if we do it together.
“Catch My Lash” is an annual business, beauty event featuring business and fashion. Stop by Brooklyn Exposure 1401 Bedford Avenue and purchase some food or have a drink. These businesses are in your community. They can’t stay if we don’t support them.
