Couture Connoisseur Fashion Network

The Third Annual Haute.lanta Fashion Week® is a high-energy media and fashion event that will take place from Thursday to Sunday, September 17th-20th, 2009 at the Casa Nirelle Mansion Estate, a 20,000 square foot Italian mansion formerly owned by entertainment mogul, P. Diddy!

Under the artistic direction of Layla k., the founder and visionary behind the event, guests will enjoy non-stop action with back to back runway shows every evening on the signature H-shaped runway, complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, trunk show suites, celebrity swag, live mannequin and accessory exhibits, silent auctions, premium live entertainment, celebrity appearances, and a host of haute after parties.

Haute.lanta Fashion Week® has established itself as the fashion authority of the South, as it is recognized by the city as the Official Fashion Week of Atlanta. Known for being over the top, HLFW has displayed over five million dollars in diamond encrusted beauty products courtesy of New York beauty mogul and millionaire Taysha Smith-Valez and has even had its runway shows recorded and aired nationally by The Travel Channel for Samantha Brown’s Passport to Great Weekends (www.travelchannel.com). Recently added to McGraw Hill’s, 2010 Chase’s Calendar of Events (www.mhprofessional.com), the most comprehensive and authoritative reference available on special events, worldwide holidays, civic observances, and historic anniversaries, Haute.lanta Fashion Week® is published internationally as Atlanta’s Official Fashion Week. Since it’s original debut, the overwhelming success of the event has sparked a series of event knockoffs, in which HLFW is challenging the local design community to support the ongoing effort to eliminate this behavior within the industry. Although fashion can be a repetition of ideas, “Fakes are never in Fashion.” Log on to www.fakesareneverinfashion.com to support this cause.
