Put away your quarantine couture and bust out the designer
wardrobe! Small Boutique Fashion Week headed down to New Orleans during Essence
Fest to promote indie fashion designers and small businesses that are making
waves locally and nationally. The fashion-forward event took place at the Jonathan
Ferrara Gallery in the Warehouse District where the walls were lined with Nigerian
artist REWA's fantastic paintings in the i'je awel'le: A Beautiful Journey, A
Safe Journey exhibition.
Models showed off new, brightly-colored fashions made by Her
Love, Priddnewyork, and Fie Clothing while local and national businesses showed
off their one-of-a-kind bespoke wares. Check out JLerone Socks Boutique for custom
and colorful socks and BeauKu Kandles for the most fragrant candles you can
find in the city. ⠀
