Scene three, entitled "3-D: Diva, Damaged, Disturbed" and directed by Whitney White, was the most theatrical of the night. Model, Tierra White played a distressed shop-a-holic who is romanced by fellow model, Omololu Bajulaiye, who expressed his love by earnestly picking up her Coach shopping bag. Even more sweet, was the amazing variations of the tutus worn by some of the models. They also sported metallics, ribboned wedges, leather booties, and serious attitude. Among the tutu creations was a structured, plaid and gold corset and ruffled mini that enhanced the scene's fantastical element. After a dance sequence to "Disturbia", White embraced her inner Rihanna and led the models out, bound to each other by metal chains.
Cadesha McLean directed "Tropical Daze", a scene which transformed Reitz Arena into a warm Caribbean beach. Reggae blared out the speakers and models clad in bright colors, fedoras, board short danced down the runway. Printed blouses, silk dresses, high wasted skirts and colored pumps added to the scene's beauty. Toward the end, models walked proudly with flags displaying their unique Caribbean heritage.
"Maybe it's the shoes…that add gleam to the tips of an outfit. Perhaps it's those chandelier earrings; essential accessories that can never go wrong." The announcer read the importance of bold accessories in fashion and the fifth scene "K.I.S.S.", directed by Majorie Thousand. Variations of the little black dress were worn by models embellished with thick eyelashes and jewels surrounding their eyes. Smooth music lead them down the runway in sky-high, eye popping stilettos given by ALDO. Although the outfits were simple, they featured a range of textures and cuts and kept the audience enthralled.
"Can't Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers pounded through Reitz as models adorned in colorful Ray-Bans posed on opposite sides of the runway. "Change", directed by Ann-Elise Francis and featuring Ann-Elise Francis Designs, started with a bang. Models flirted and posed along the runway in liquid leggings, layers of gold chains, legwarmers, suspenders, and converses. The paring of a graphic tee with a picture of Jimi Hendrix, liquid leggings, and platform pumps captured the scene's youthful vibe. "Change" had some of the show's most wearable clothing, emphasized layers, and styled up simple t-shirts.
The combined efforts of the directors and scene leaders resulted in a show that left the audience cheering and in awe of the fantastic styling and talented models. The show was fun, chic, and most importantly, fierce.
