Oh my, today was a good day! I am exhausted and just got back from the red carpet premiere of Takers at Atlantic Station, Regal Cinemas.

Africa: A Safari

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Last nite I was invited to an extroidinary event! Kevan Hall, which Is well renowned for his dazzling gowns was in Atlanta,Ga to show is Spring/Summer 09 collection, which was called Africa: A Safari. The event was held at Twelve Hotel in Atlantic Station. Lexus was the sponsor.

Actress,Holly Robinson Peete was the host of the show and she talked about her sons Autism and how any outfits purchased would benefit her non profit organization called, www.HollyRob4Kids.org. I had a chance to interview Holly and she spoke of how expensive it is to care for children with Autism and how there is so many kids being diagnosed with this horrible disorder. Some celebs that came out to support was Keisha Knight,Essence from Half and Half,Boris Kodjoe and his wife, Angie Stone,athletes and many more.

I must say I was blown away. The show started off with a tribal dance and boy were they talented! Kevan showed 59 pieces and they were gorgeous and especially the long gowns omg! From what I found out, his gowns are worn all over the red carpets like the SAG Awards, Emmy’s,Golden Globes,Image Awards and more. Ruby Dee wore his dress to the Oscars which she was nominee. Kevan’s inspiration he told me came from Dinka,Maasai and Zulu Tribes. Kevan lives in Los Angeles,Ca and has been a designer for over 20 years. There was a multil colored hand painted gown that I recognized, come to find out Kimora Lee wore it on a red carpet not to long ago, price tag $12,000.00 smack a roos wow!.

The rest of his collection can run you from $1,400.00 and up. To see the craftmanship up close and personal, you have to give it to him,Kevan makes any women look beautiful! The clothing was so detailed and oh so pretty. Kevan used mud cloths, tattoo matelasse,crushed organza,printed chiffons and painted twill for this collection. The collection made you feel like you were on a real safari.
