Last weekend I sashayed down to Macy’s at Lenox Mall to check out the male fashions hosted by “Project Runway’s” Anthony Williams and  Miss Lawrence Washington from “Atlanta Housewives.” I’m not really into men’s fashions, but the male models were very nice to look at. The always flamboyant Anthony Williams presented the latest evening, casual and outerwear collections from designers such as Hugo Boss, Armani Jeans, French Connection and more. The show was held in the Impulse department, where catered bites were served, Starbucks drinks were passed around and DJ Jeremy spinned techno music, while we mingled and looked at the collections.

I was able to get a little tea backstage with fashion designer and reality star Anthony Williams. I congratulated him on being in the new cast of “Project Runway’s All-Stars” coming to Bravo this fall. I asked him if he was a frequent shopper at Macys, and if so, what were his favorite items in the store. Williams replied that he loves Michael Kors accessories, Bar III and Theory. Williams was also Stacey Dash’s stylist on the hit television show “Single Ladies.” I told him that was the only reason I watched the show — because she was dressed to kill. Williams replied that it was a pleasure styling her.

After the fashion presentation, Miss.Lawrence hit the stage dressed in an avant garde black sparkly outfit and Phillip Tracey hat. He sang his hit tune,” I’m Not Your Closet Freak” and did a pretty good job! The crowd seemed to like the catchy song too. Afterwards, both reality stars signed autographs and snapped photos with fans. Attendees also got to enjoy great discounts and a complimentary gift bags if they purchased anything from the Impulse department for $200. Inside the gift bag was a designer t-shirt, magazine, Armani wallet and Hugo Boss card holder.

When Pia and I pranced our way into the store we were mesmerized with all the excitement going on inside this blue and yellow decorated store. Lots of fashionistas were dressed to the nines in their funky attire. I felt so old and out of place because the fashions were pretty edgy and fast forward!

I was introduced to Jason Scott the owner of the boutique and I started firing off questions to him. I asked him how he got started in fashion and he said was a freshman at AIU and his major is fashion design. He is 26 years old and also a hairstylist gone boutique owner. I loved his energy and you can tell he was very passionate about his craft!

Jason with his aunties,awh!

He told me his fav colors are blue and yellow and that he will carry larger sizes for us, “curvier” chicas that want to stay stylish too!  I asked Jason to give some words of wisdom for newbies who want to open a boutique and his advice was to:

  1. Do you research
  2. Find your immediate people
  3. Find out what people like to wear
  4. Look and see whats in stores

Jason plans on opening more boutiques and wants to launch a men’s boutique soon. He said that guys can be a bit tricky because men are harder to buy for. I loved his boutique, the Pinktasic shoes, bites and ofcourse the cupcakes..yum! Wine was poured and the beats were hott! Enjoy the pics and good luck to Jason and his staff! Thanks to Necole Garner for the personal invite!
