House of Versatile Styles to Showcase at The Rise of Fashion

September 26, 2010 in Designers - One comment

Bukola Are, head designer of The House of Versatile Styles, will be showcasing at Fashion Exposé:  The Rise of Fashion, this Saturday October 2nd.   

With the goal of providing a forum for young upcoming designers in the Boston area to gain exposure for their fashion lines, designer Jay Calderin founded Boston Fashion Week in 1995.  Fashion Exposé, a part of Fashion Week since 2008, is a collective show of seven emerging designers which will serve as the finale to Boston Fashion Week.  Featuring Project Runway fan favorite Korto Momolu, the premiere of Prajje’s new collection, Payizan, inspired by his native Haiti; the work of South African fashion star David Tlale, and our very own favorite Bukola Are, the show is expected to be an exciting close to a fun-filled week!

Inspired by various cities and travels, Bukola Are’s chic HVS Collection includes the finest fabrics from around the globe influenced by American, African and European culture.  The line – tailored and sexy with high street flair – is characterized by her attention to detail.

We first saw HVS at Seattle Fashion Week (May 2010).   Her show was outstanding and we’re sure Boston’s show will not disappoint!  (Check out SFW show on our YouTube channel here.)
