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.

On Sunday, April 28, Woman of the Year (WOY) candidate Roxana Muzzammel will be hosting a fashion show at the Huxley from 5 – 8 p.m. to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Spanish fashion brand Hoss Intropia will feature its designs at the show.
The fashion show, “Fashion for a Cure,” is a unique opportunity to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma society’s lifesaving blood cancer research. Funds raised will go to blood cancer research in honor of local children who are blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. Today, hundreds of thousands of children are battling leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. Fashion for a Cure seeks to address this dire demographic with the support they need.
Spanish brand, Hoss Intropia will feature its collection at the show. Hoss Intropia’s philosophyrests on the concept of “intropia,” a term which comes from a combination of the words introspection and utopia. Hoss Intropia stands for striving for a dream, a vital desire. According to this concept, Hoss Intropia is perfect as the main fashion brand for the show, because it supports the LLS dream that one day there will be a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Haute Heritage will also feature its collection. Haute Heritage is a unique and versatile women’s wear line that combines global artisan traditions with modern, sophisticated styles. Baltimore nominee for LLS’ Man of the Year campaign and award-winning designer Christopher Schafer will feature his men’s wear collection at the show also.
Charitable minded, MWOY candidate Muzzammel is no stranger to supporting LLS. In 2012, Muzzammel became involved with LLS after her father passed away from leukemia.Muzzammel participated in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night walk to raise money and build public awareness about blood cancers.
Presently, Muzzammel is focused on showing support in memory of her father, but also for the many children who are blood cancer survivors. This year, Muzzammel’s charitable efforts come just before her fashion show, Fashion for a Cure.
“My support goes out to those children effected by leukemia, their families and loved ones,” says Muzzammel. “By participating in the Man & Woman of the Year campaign, I hope to show my support for those young blood cancer survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. I challenge the people of the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to attend this fundraiser and show their support and experience an evening of food, fashion, and fun.”
