Heart Truth Red Dress Show 2013

My favorite fashion events are those that bring out tons of celebrities for a good cause.  The Heart Truth Red Dress Show sends gorgeous stars of all shapes and sizes down the runway in hot red gowns from the top designers at Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom.

Heart Truth is a non-profit initiative sponsored by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Red Dress is a symbol to remind women of the need to protect their heart health, and inspires them to take action.  To study up on how to keep your heart healthy, check out the Heart Truth website.

Olympic gold medalist, Gabrielle Douglas strolled down the catwalk in Pamella Roland.  Soledad O'Brien wore a leg revealing dress by Black Halo Eve.  Divas Toni Braxton, Wendy Williams and Roselyn Sanchez sashayed with sexy attitude.  Kelly Osborne looked like a retro pinup with rock n' roll flair in Zac Posen.  Check out the rest of the lineup below:

Parsons School of Design - Class of 2012 Fashion Show

The last few weeks, the top fashion design programs around New York City presented new talent to the world.  Parsons was my alma mater and they did me proud with their runway show.  2007 alumni, Carlie Cushnie and Michelle Ochs spoke about their experiences as graduates and presented the new class.
