Suzanne Libfraind Selected to Host the Red Carpet Fashion Lounge at the Carolina Music Awards

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- RALEIGH, NC, June 24, 2011--The Red Carpet Fashion Lounge at the Carolina Music Awards has announced the host for the Red Carpet Fashion Lounge 2011 is local celebrity Suzanne Libfraind. The fashion show will take place July 17, 2011 at 5:30 pm at one of Raleigh’s most elegant venues: the Progress Energy Center. The Red Carpet Fashion Lounge will feature two local emerging designers, in addition to two local boutiques. The emerging designers chosen for the event are Sandy Chen, a student at NCSU, and Kiara Lynn, a student at ECU. The boutiques participating in the event are Hayley’s Boutique and The Art of Fashion. National and international press are invited to cover the event.

The Red Carpet Fashion Lounge is primarily a showcase for local emerging designers and boutiques who create and sell couture and finely tailored garments. The show immediately precedes the Carolina Music Awards, to be held after in the Progress Energy Center. In addition to being a unique opportunity for the emerging designers and boutiques, the event promises to attract the participation of some of the most creative makeup artists, trend setting hair stylists and stunning runway models.

”Being invited to participate in this event as the host is great," says Suzanne Libfraind, owner of Wardrobe Consulting and host of a regular segment on My Carolina Today. “This show promises to pave the way for more fashion recognition in the local area by featuring fantastic student designers and local boutiques”.

The boutiques and designers or their representatives will be available to take orders or schedule a private showing. Boutique and specialty fashion buyers covering the designer to fashion market, fashion representatives, selected VIP's, socialites and corporate sponsors will enjoy the Red Carpet Fashion Lounge as an opportunity to view fashion and music in a new light.

Producer Betty Jackson, of Betty Jackson Management, says “This is a positive event for Raleigh, creating job opportunities for stylists, models and others involved in fashion throughout the year. Local fashion buyers and fashionistas will have an opportunity to view the collections in person.” Working in conjunction with Omar McCallop, founder of the Carolina Fashion Awards, Jackson is working to attract fashion designers from the Carolinas and provide them with an opportunity to gain the recognition they deserve without having to leave the local area to succeed.
