Celebrity Publicists Antoine & Andre Von Boozier and CMC had the Inspired In NY Red Carpet on FIRE July 11 at Griffin NYC! We saw Ramona Singer, The Beekman Boys, Ice Castle Model Madam Bambi and IINY Founder Camille Evans come to pay homage to Sonja and her efforts to brighten the world! Prior to all of the events, I got a chance to speak with Cynthia "Cindy" Hussey, a friend of Sonja's. Cindy is the designer and founder of Velvet Eyewear (velveteyewear.com) and praised Sonja for her jovial and giving spirit. Cindy gifted some of the eye wear and I must say they are just FABULOUS! Camille Evans, founder of INSPIRED IN NEW YORK introduced The Beekman Boys to present the certificate of honor to Sonja. They came up and thanked Sonja for her continued friendship and support she has shown them over the years before and after their marriage. She 'vowed' to be the foundation of many of their endeavors, including marriage equality. Sonja accepted her certificate of honor and gave a truly touching speech. She is poised and humble. She is articulate and thankful. She is truly a GEM! Take a look at her gracefulness and humbleness in the video below! Find out more at www.sonjamorgan.com! That is the Price you Pay for the Life you Choose Radio personality, playwright and actor AR Garcia is one truly magnificent transparent individual. I had the pleasure of meeting him for an interview at Red Rooster in Harlem. We spoke of his upcoming stage play 'I Love Them All' for the ONE FESTIVAL located at Teatro LATEA 107 Suffolk St, NYC, NY.
His play was about a very accomplished litigation lawyer of Hispanic decent who has a problem with several private addictions. He is fully functional, but seeks out a therapist that hosts Skype sessions to help him. Garcia wrote and is the star of the play. Garcia predicted that his play will touch every emotional chord we have in our hearts and minds within the 28 minutes of his play. Being a writer is his nature and he didn't expect to star in the play. I couldn't think of anyone better to portray the character other than Garcia. Garcia is a humble knowledgeable individual. He expresses such knowledge through his creative writing. We also learned that he prefers to write in silence, no phone that is, and usually at the insomnia hours of night. By the end of our interview, I was convinced he would be the winner of the ONE FESTIVAL. And yes he did win! Take a look at the video below! SCP had the pleasure of interviewing Joe Zeigler, Founder of The G.Y.M. Project at Katra NYC during The G.Y.M. Project FUNraiser! Check it out below.
The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this. - Mark Twain Amy Delson Jewelry is truly an expression of love. As a female jewelry designer, Amy understands women. She knows women are capable of expressing their love levels 'Lovels' through their creative choices, otherwise known as accessories. Amy designs to bring out and crown the powerful, feminine, artistic and playful sides of a woman. She combines gemstones, crystals, art glass, sterling silver, gold plating, brass and copper to manifest her creations. Amy Delson Jewelry collaborated with Studio 6th Sense during the Nolcha FW 2013 runway event. Studio 6th Sense is the artistic creation from designer Stephen Goudeau. Stephen believes we are blessed with a sixth sense that applies the sense of style and uniqueness of each woman that is illustrated in their way of life. His canvas for creating his brand is the contour of a woman's body. Check out Amy and Stephen's answers to SCP's questions below: 1. When did you decide handmade jewelry was how you were going to change the world of fashion? When did you decide that women's designs was how you were going to change the world of fashion? Amy: When I saw that I was getting compliments every time I wore one of my own pieces, and so many others I'd created custom pieces for shared the same experience, I knew that I had to give more women out there the same opportunity. It is a joy to create beautiful jewelry that plays a pivotal role in women's personal expression. Stephen: That's still a question mark in my head. To be honest, I've always been a creative individual you could say. I feel true fashion is an expression and imagination of a designers eyes of how the world should look, whether in disagreement or not. With saying that, true art is very important to me. I knew that in order to begin my creative niche, I wanted to start with one of God’s most precious creations, the woman. I believe critiquing and complimenting the figure of a woman is very important. 2. Why did you choose Nolcha Fashion Week 2013? Amy: I was excited to have an international platform in which I could have my jewelry featured two ways: on the runway in collaboration with a clothing designer and in exhibition at the fashion lounge. The time was right for me to jump in! Stephen: Nolcha does a fantastic job in supporting upcoming designers. I did a lot of research and saw how supportive they were in helping designers to grow and network. It was then I decided to give Nolcha Fashion week a try and I have never regretted that decision. 3. How did the runway partnership come about with Sixth Sense Fashion? How did the runway partnership come about with Amy Delson Jewelry? Amy: I'm thrilled that I was partnered with Studio 6th Sense for our runway collaboration. I had been approached by the organizers of Nolcha Fashion Week about participating this season, so I expressed my desire to be present both on the runway and in the fashion lounge. They forwarded photos of my latest work to the designers scheduled to show on the runway to assess their interest, and within minutes, Stephen Goudeau, the designer behind Studio 6th Sense, said he wanted to work with me. He'd fallen in love with a photo of my wide Tatiana Cuff bracelet on a model. We spoke on the phone, since he is based in Texas and I'm in NYC, and he emailed me some photos of his new collection. We were on the same page immediately with our common vision of a strong feminine woman. Stephen: I met Amy at Nolcha Fashion Week in September. I noticed her detail for jewelry pieces and I just knew I needed to collaborate with her. Her creation of the wrist bangles was the key accessory for my Fall line “Eternal Submission”. 4. What advice do you give to the future of fashion? Amy: I say, follow your instincts but always keep your eyes and ears open for stimulation and new perspectives. Having a strong inner voice is just as important as being able to translate your vision to the world. Stephen: No matter what happens, follow your creative niche. If we hold back for fear of how the world may interpret our creations, we are doing the fashion world no justice. Believe in yourself and work hard, the rest will follow. There are many of us that are bursting with creativity but we allow reality to suffocate us. Below you will find some of the photos of Amy Delson Jewelry and Studio 6th Sense at Nolcha FW 2013!

www.yotelnewyork.com More emerging designers have relied on Nolcha FW to elevate their creative platforms. Nolcha FW 2013 was a two day event. The first day consisted of 3 runway shows at Pier 59 Studio and the second day consisted of the Media Lounge at YOTEL New York. Nolcha FW's events wouldn't be complete without the Media Lounge. The Nolcha Media Lounge is where designers and media professionals can mix and mingle without the rush of the red carpet 'frenzy'. We were able to get interviews with desigers, enjoy a light brunch and be pampered with hair and makeup sponsored by Rusk. SCP's MP, the no makeup queen, actually had her makeup done by Daniella Navaro. SCP had the opportunity to speak with the presenting designers. One designer, in particular, Lawrence Leyderman of House of Horology, left a significant impression with his watches. They were luxury watches for the everyday male. The most unique part of the watches was the back of face. The back of the face of the watch was an imprint of the company logo which keeps the authentication of the designs. His collection can be found at his boutique located at 193 Prince Stl,, NY, NY 10012. Another designer that has left a lasting impression and returned for another year to Nolcha FW is Eric of The Art of EMJ. His line consists of textured bow ties. He has used leather, fur and textured patterns to make bow ties stand out in the luxury fashion industry. The ties are able to be worn by both males and females. View and shop Eric's bow ties via www.theartofemj.com. Listen below to some brief words from Eric about his creations! Photos courtesy of CCaicosheart of CCaiosheart.tumblr.com Fashion designers of late have favored designing fashions for one gender: male or female. It is rare that a designer is able to design a complete line for both male and female. NEODANDI HOUSE OF COUTURE not only broke this rule, but in its duality used the imagination of colors from a somewhat spiritual place. The show featured 35 women's and 7 men's looks. Fashion designer NiiLartey De Osu's use of color ignites the form of imagination. This was shown in the cut of his fabrics as well as his runway presentation. The runway concept was not your traditional walk the straightaway runway routine. The models were to express the colorful imagination of the clothing. The square runway gave the audience the ambiance of complete artistry from the imagination of the designer. Designer NiiLartey De Osu truly brought art and humanity back to high fashion with this 8 year old label with his NYFW 2013 collection. We can look forward to more of his colorful expression of imagination in this fabulous world we call fashion! For more information about the label or desiger, visit www.neodandi.com.
