Last Weekend to see Arts Center of Coastal Carolina’s production of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”

Last week was a whirlwind of runway and trunk shows during Savannah Fashion Week. On Friday, 24e became a fusion of fashion and furniture during the Exposed Fashion Show featuring the collections of April Johnston, Peach Carr and Michael Drummond. The store’s artful décor added glamour and function to the cocktail reception catered by Leoci’s Trattoria and SubZero Bar on the main floor, while eclectic seating rimmed the H-shaped runway covering the entire second level. Exposed brick walls, raftered ceilings, and the macabre maidens’ slow and eery saunter fortified the theme of raw, underground beauty. So exposed was their look, in fact, that the models’ red roots were deliberately evident. Peach Carr’s sporty collection featured stilletto lace-up sneakers, white sunglasses and whimsical casts underscoring the sexy appeal of slightly damaged goods. On the darker side were Drummond and Johnston’s collections, conjuring images of the ethereal realm during a midnight stroll through Bonaventure Cemetery. The finale piece by Johnston was an exquisite creation featuring a black lace mantilla covering the face of the model who carried a bouquet of black roses, reminiscent of Morticia Addams on her wedding day.
