The Flaunt Show
Monday, June 8, 2009
Here is the photographic evidence of how fun and awesome the Flaunt show was on Saturday. All photos by Shawn Duffy:

I came up to this woman and said, “I know you…?!” It’s Nakea West, a Sidewalk Style alum! Wearing a killer Alexander Wang skirt, I might add.
DJ Keenan Orr, who is pretty much too awesome for words.
It was so good. Despite road closures and the we’re-not-in-Northwest-anymore-locale, the show sold out by Friday and the place was packed to the GILLS. When I first came out on the runway (in my just-purchased Marc Jacobs dress) to welcome everyone and intro the first designer, I felt totally proud that there was NO room to breathe in the place but also bad for the folks in the back, straining to be able to see. It was really heartening to see so many people out supporting Honfleur (they’re part of the Anacostia community nonprofit ARCH) and the talented designers and photographers. I hope you’ll all go out there at some point to check out the gallery, including some of the amazing work upstairs including the hauntingly surreal work by Jean-Francois Rauzier.
Huge thanks to PR@Partners for doing hours of work for FREE on hair and makeup, to DJ Keenan, photographers Shawn Duffy and Marc Benton and to all of YOU for being there and body and/or spirit!
