I've said it once and I'll say it again, summer is my favorite time of year because of all of the fall fashion shows. And one of my favorite shows thus far is Pins and Needles.
Originally called “Project:Design!,” the Pins and Needles competition was created in 2007 by Dwight Carter, Creative Director at Brainchild Events. The rock and roll fashion show fuses rock counterculture and fashion. Carter spent years working in events and PR, while also managing bands and working in the music industry. Along the way, he became connected to the fashion scene, working to help produce fashion charity show Threads 4 Hope (Produced by Mother Model Management) and co producing St. Louis Fashion Week events. The six designers showcasing their looks in this year’s competition are: Marcel Coleman Jr. (Saint Louis, MO), Andrew Clancy (Nashville, TN), Richard Cotto (Saint Louis, MO), Laila Fattal (Brooklyn, NY), Morgan Mason (Saint Louis, MO), Wiki Wang (Saint Louis, MO)
