Hello, fashionistas! Welcome to the Vintage Inspired Passionista blog on this blustery day in good ole’ Alabama! Today, I bring to you the VIP’s coverage of Birmingham Fashion Week’s Friday Night Runway [March 1] show! Oh, the event was ever so spectacular! After leaving, I went home and made a list of what fashions I was going to NEED in my spring wardrobe! You cannot get much better than Southern style!
The Friday night runway featured local boutiques Soca clothing and Theadora. Their collections made everyone ready for the warmer weather! The Annie Griffin collection fit the VIP’s style for sure! The garments were composed of lots of retro vibes, patterns, and colors! Just talking about it makes me ready for a superb shopping spree! So, VIP readers, let’s take a giant gander at what the Friday BFW runway show was all about! Come on, let’s go!
