Sweet Ol'e Brooklyn 2018 Summer Events

Good Ol'e Brooklyn

Back in the days summer for me meant, block parties. johnny pump and I'm not speaking about the sprinkler system, nah full force with your tin can. Sitting on the stoop until late at night with your friends and couldn't move from in the front. City pools. playing skelly in the park. Those were the dayssss!

Things have change, neighborhood and communities have been gentrify, doing things differently

from when I was growing up, like community events and entertainment for the children and adults.

Fashion Week Brooklyn "Be Bold, Be Strong" 2014 FW Opening Night.

Fashion Week Brooklyn "Be Bold, Be Strong" 2014 FW

Where better to hold a Fashion event then Brooklyn.

Fashion Week Brooklyn was off to a four-day event from March 13-16 at Industry City in the beautiful Sunset Park Brooklyn.

Featuring emerging and established designers showing you a different theme each night.

When we think Fashion, we think of it in the City (Manhattan), but I came to realize that the City ain't got nothing on Fashion Week Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Borough President stated that "Brooklyn is going to become the mecca for artistic expression" and I say to late Mr. Borough President, We (Brooklyn) have and will always be a borough of EXPRESSION it's in our culture, a culture surrounded by many and different ethnicity. It is what we call "It's the Brooklyn Way".http://www.homereporternews.com/news/business/brooklyn-fashion-week-hits-the-runways/article_9170126c-a897-11e3-9832-001a4bcf887a.html

Eric Wilson, In style fashion news editor stated that "Brooklyn is the future of New York Fashion" everything in time changes and Mr. Wilson the future is here. http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/09/brooklyn-new-york-fashion-week/

New York Daily News states, Fashion Week watchers dreading commute to Brooklyn for Alexander Wang must see collection featured at Brooklyn Navy Yard, Manhattan's style elite will GRUDGINGLY trex across the East side River to the Navy Yard for this event.http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/fashion-week-watchers-dreading-brooklyn-show-article-1.1586988

Who wouldn't want to come, to lay back Brooklyn away from the hustle & bustle, (that is how I would love it to stay) of City (Manhattan),
ok enough about Brooklyn and into Fashion Week.

Opening Night was a night to remember, from Music, Celebrities, Fashionistas, Photographer, Media, Live Band,Beautiful Models and all those well deserve designers who put their hard work into something they believed in, which is fashion.

This year's :Be Bold, Be Strong" 2014 FW opening night with Eco-friendly Innovative Designers from all around the borough.

As well as student-made from Maxwell High School in Brooklyn and High School of Fashion Industries.

Over the past 8 yrs, Fashion Week Brooklyn presented by a non-profit, Brooklyn Style Foundation has supported talented Fashion Designers based in the U.S and abroad.

Fashion Week Brooklyn mission is to incorporate all of the artistic elements that added to the success of Fashion Week Brooklyn.

Brooklyn has become more influential in the Fashion World, not only designers showing in Brooklyn (Alexander Wang) now, but they're actually making clothes there.

Now without further a do, here are pictures of this FABULOUS event:
