Eight Brooklyn-based designers close the fourth annual Brooklyn Fashion Week with a bang.<\/p>\n

The runway was eclectic and energetic at the fourth annual A Very Brooklyn Fashion Show,\u00a0at\u00a0bkOne Productions inside Industry City on Oct. 8, bringing a stylish end cap to the 20th anniversary of Brooklyn Fashion Week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show presented eight designers to a packed audience of fashionistas, style mavens, family, friends\u00a0and a packed pit of photographers at the end of the runway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event was produced by Brooklyn Made, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Fashion Week Brooklyn, BK Style Foundation and bkONE, showcasing\u00a0designs\u00a0to a packed house.<\/p>\n

Randy Peers, President and CEO of The Brooklyn Chamber Of Commerce, explained that the designer selection process was a team effort, with BK Style Foundation and Brooklyn Made both identifying 4 designers for the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A total of eight\u00a0Brooklyn-based designers participated in the fashion show: Voodo F\u00e8, Najama House, ELTSUH, Nixx Pain, Shiyenze Fashion, Trip to Earth, Uliana Urusova, and Zuriland & Co.\u00a0Rick Davy, Founder and Director of the BK Style Foundation, identified four\u00a0of the designers, while the Brooklyn Made store identified the other four.<\/p>\n

Designer inspiration\u00a0on the runway clocked in from Poland, Jamaica, Elista, Kalmykia (European Russia), Kenya\u00a0and Brooklyn, with models across many ages.<\/p>\n

Zuriland & Co was at the event, a brand\u00a0founded by designer Kee.\u00a0The\u00a0children’s fashion brand celebrates creativity, individuality, and childhood joy, created in collaboration with Kee’s daughter and muse, Zuri. She showed a collection of whimsical pieces rooted in bold colors and spectacle,\u00a0creating playful drama with flowing designs that begged to be worn for a birthday party or to make a splash for picture day at school.<\/p>\n

Shiyenze Fashion, founded by Kenyan-born, Brooklyn-based designer Roselyne Shiyenze Khasoha, celebrates heritage, craftsmanship and community.\u00a0Shiyenze Khasoha\u00a0presented DIASPORA 2027, which explores identity, migration, resilience\u00a0and belonging to more than one world.<\/p>\n

The work “shares the journey of immigrants and how they evolve their fashion when they move to a different place,” the designer told BK Reader. “I’m moving away\u00a0from designing on\u00a0survival to craftsmanship, because I will be remembered by my work, not by the profits I made.”<\/p>\n

Lifestyle clothing brand ELTSUH reimagines preppy staples as wearable affirmations.<\/p>\n

Many pieces were emblazoned with the term “Look In The Mirror”\u00a0in mirrored writing on the back, bringing positive self-talk into everyday clothing. A woven Jalen Brunson #11 jersey was shown on the runway, layered over a white button-up and knotted tie, and\u00a0paired with loose, silhouette trousers.<\/p>\n

The four\u00a0designers that can be found at the Brooklyn Made store include Voodo F\u00e8, a multidisciplinary artist who opened the presentation by showing repurposed pieces from his collections, including his collaboration with the Miles Davis estate. ELTSUH,\u00a0Uliana Urusova, and\u00a0Shiyenze Fashion can also be found at the Brooklyn Made store at\u00a0Industry City.<\/p>\n
