CAAFD – I’MPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE!
The New York public relations – BFDPR and the Council of Aspiring American Fashion Designers (CAAFD), in collaboration with iFashion Network as part of the I’MPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE, presented the next showcase in its long running series of events during New York Fashion Week.
This particular show took place during the Fall Winter 2018 season, and occured on February 10th at Industria, an IMG platform. The emerging designers given a spotlight for this collective showcase included Port Zienna, Mouton Blanc and Zabetta Couture, who displayed a mix of international and domestic styles and techniques throughout all the collections. Though this showcase, these designers were afforded a platform to exhibit what makes them unique, and the audience was thrilled to see every design make its way down the runway. Atmosphere was a major aspect of this showcase, as evidenced by Violinist, Sooyeon Jun and Trumpeter, ÉGO, who helped draw the audience into the show.
Francesca Canepa is the designer of Port Zienna, and hails from Lima, Peru. Prior to this showcase, Port Zienna and Canepa spent many years traveling all over the world, incorporating styles and techniques from the various locations, which are readily apparent in the designs featured for this portion of the showcase. The audience was immediately thrilled with the haute couture inspired ready-to-wear designs, with the striking black and white palette and neat silhouettes making for eye-catching displays.

Mouton Blanc also held a featured and much anticipated spot on the showcase, bringing Japanese-born and Paris-trained designer Hakuyo Miya’s wholly unique style to New York Fashion Week for the first time. Utilizing many different colors and inspirations, the bodysuits and dresses in this collection mixed together into a fantastical beauty that is unlike anything the audience in attendance had ever seen before.

Closing out this emerging designers showcase was Zabetta Couture with New York-born designer Ruth Zabetta, who, like Port Zienna, utilized a black and white color palette, but the usage of those colors and the cuts of the designs kept designs very distinct. Having been raised in Spain and the Dominican Republic, Zabetta and Zabetta Couture incorporated very unique inspirations compared to the previous two designers, with masterful cuts and silhouettes that highlighted the natural feminine beauty.
