On March 24th it will be proven again that fashion lives in the Nation’s Capital! In 2007, Anwaa Kong had a fashion show that fused music & fashion together and this year he decided to do a revival and collaborate with Harley Morgan, owner of ROE The Agency. These two gentlemen have created a show that will be talked about for some years to come, featuring unforgettable fashions for Spring/Summer 2013 by the area’s top designers and showcasing over 50 models!
The “Fashionably LOUD” Fashion Show will be Hosted by Autumn Joi, with sounds provided by DJ MIM. LIVE performances will be provided by: Epic Recording Artist Marcus Canty, Kingpen Slim, Dunson, Boobe, Phil Da Phuture, Jayne Kennedi & Devin White. As an added element, there will also be vending by various businesses, such as health & wellness, food, jewelry, clothing + more! “Fashionably LOUD” is also pleased to announce that Sandra Woodley, one of the final twelve selected models for the new Hit series “The Face”, currently in rotation on the Oxygen network will be in attendance. Sandra is a well-rounded professional model; as a member of #TeamNaomi, she was exclusively trained by Legendary Supermodel Naomi Campbell, worked on campaigns with Urban Outfitters, Christian Louboutin, Tony Burch, LK Bennett and landed two spots on the hit television show “Project Runway”.
When asked about why reviving the fashion show for music and fashion in the Nation’s Capital, Anwaa Kong states “I feel like DC’s music and fashion scene needed this show. I did the same show in 2007, I had Wale, Tabi Bonney and UCB perform and the rest is history. So hopefully, in a few years we can say the same about some of the artists in show. DC has always been a uniquely hot fashion city, Kanye got his style from here. All the other rappers are dressing like Wale.” Harley Morgan states “Our fashion show, Fashionably LOUD, is going to be a movement! This event is unprecedented and needed to reenergize our fashion, music and performance scenes…It’s gonna be HAUTE!!”
The “Fashionably LOUD” Fashion Show will take place Sunday, March 24th from 6-11 PM at IBIZA Nightclub in Washington, DC. Doors will open at 6PM. To attend the fashion show, you can purchase tickets by visiting this link: www.fashionablyloud.org.

Art for Sale at New ArtJamz Studio
Washington DC’s most curiously non-curated art gallery and exhibition is back – the next ArtJamz Artz Bazaar is Sunday, April 14th from noon to 4PM. It’s free, open to the public, there is a bar … and did we mention lots of affordable art?
12:00pm til 4:00pm, Sun Apr 14 @ ArtJamz, 1728 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009
A typical DC Art Gallery is quiet with lots of white walls. When ArtJamz turns its Dupont Studion into our Artz Bazaar it is anything but that. Indeed , the Artz Bazaar is an opportunity to discover and collect an assortment of local and affordable art, all while enjoying the upbeat public art studio and lounge at ArtJamz. The best part is that all works are from local artists, and they are priced between $35 and $500. That’s right, no outrageous art fees, because, well, we make our living off painting and drinking, and don’t need to sell $50,000 art. The bi-monthly Artz Bazaar is dedicated to providing original artwork to DC area residents so they can start, or add to, their collections without having to go to Sotheby’s or draw on napkins to get it done. This is the perfect opportunity to support your local artists and expand your art collection, and have a few drinks in the process. Don’t worry, we will still be hosting ArtJamz sessions and listening to great music – we have two floors now! ArtJamz Artz Bazaar April 14th Noon-4:00PM Free and open to public 1728 Connecticut Ave NW Washington DC 20002 artzbazaar@artjamzdc.com Want to showcase your work in the Artz Bazaar? Email artzbazaar@artjamzdc.com Please title your email Artz Bazaar. April 14th bazaar submissions due April 1st. Submissions for the June 16th Artz Bazaar due by May 1st. Include artist statement, cv and portfolio. Or attach five work low rez samples. We’ll send you more information about the business side of things when we get your query. The ArtJamz Artz Bazaar started in 2012 as a way to encourage the Washington DC metro area to collect more local art. During our past Artz Bazaars we have sold a number of pieces and helped expose a wide range of our culturally curious artjammers to local art.
