Two fashion shows are better than one as the Two Fashion Show becomes a trending topic.

Following the success of the One Fashion Show last year, it was time to go bigger and better and a new location was first on the list. “From the talk of our first show, Minute Maid Park actually reached out to us about having the show at their location,” said Two Fashion Team spokesperson. “Once we took the tour of the place, we decided that it was the perfect place to have a fashion show.” The team was excited and thankful for the opportunity to be presented with the venue needed to take the show above and beyond.

The Two Fashion Team consists of a multi-talented group of young Houston-based artists who came together to bring a brand new outlook on urban and street style fashion. Manuela Gomez and “Youth Soul Love” are co-creators of the fashion line; Yobi is over audio visual and graphic designer; Liz Alfred is head hair stylist; Priscilla Sanchez is head make-up artist; and last but not least, Whitney My’ckel and Porscha J, are head stylists; all share the same goal to perfect their crafts and show the world what they can do.

The show was a compilation of designer apparel, model struts, and musical numbers. “The designer list included Dynasty 2259 Queens Collection, as well as their new men’s collection called ESOR along with a special appearance by Zhizhu Fashion,” The Team said. “Also showcased; Lookinsweet, a Washington DC Brand; Courtney’s Closet; Purple Hollywood; and Liv Culture.”

Featured in the show was the vocal styling of artist Varrie V featuring Doughbeezy during intermission. Followed by Youth Soul Love performing at the end of the show.

Clearly, Houston was impressed as the crowd was in high appraise from beginning to end. “We LOVED the energy; you could definitely feel the love in the air,” The Team said. “That’s our main goal, to bring the city together and make everyone have a good time.”

A mass variety of Houston-based sponsors were in the diverse crown including representatives from the newly open Epic Bar and Lounge, Sole Lounge Clothing Store, and War’Hous Visual Studios also helped to support the show.

Partial proceeds of the show and sponsorships were given to the charity, Project Row Houses, a non-profit arts organization established by African-American artists and community activists in Houston’s Third War area.
“We are really excited about how everything turned out,” The Team said. “We did not expect it to be as big as it was.”
The Team is gearing up for next year and understands what is needed for a more spectacular event. With anything, there is always room for improvement. “Yes there are definitely plans for a show next year,” The Team said. “Our main goal will be a bigger location for the show since the response has been so great.”
As the show is done for now, new things have arrived and are ready to be tackled. “One of our new projects is our own television show on Urban Houston Network named Heart of the City,” The Team said. “The show will express how we put the fashion show together and all the hard work behind the scenes.” The show will be airing between the months of August and September.

There is also talk of a musical festival in the works of being a real showstopper.
