Ecliff Elie® hosted "For the Love of Fashion II" at Queen’s Hall on Friday 14th September. Theme'd "the romance ... 2008 collection", the show was scheduled to promptly kick off at 9 PM. Unfortunately, after the misfortune of getting short notice, I arrived to Queen's Hall late! I would have really liked to see the Evening Wear section which to me normally showcases most of the designer's intellectual blend with creativity.

Next up was the Business Wear, which to me had a rich palette of colors and different assorted designs from a haute couture feel. The tan suits however weren't quite as flattering, as I saw no real difference between them and any regular suits that I see folks wearing in the streets today.

Moving on with the show, they then had a contemporary music interlude with violins and bass to Muvado and Marshal. It was a different and modern blending of music, which was great. Then it was unto the next section in the night's line up, the Hip Hop/Trendy section - which turned out to be my least favorite. Personally, it seemed like pretty much casual wear that wasn't too much out of the ordinary. A lot of it looked like the kind of stuff you could see and get in town ... only real difference, the designer's initials on it.

There is always salvation from the rubble of debris, the Bathing Suit section - one of my favorites. Some of the designs were very flashy and haute couture but all user friendly to go to the beach. Pool lounging is what I figured it would be ideal for! One particular bathing suit sure commanded a round of applause. Folks really showed some love for that blue one piece ... very cute!

After the swimsuit section, that pretty much summed it up for the night’s feature. In wrapped things up, the audience were given a brief encore presentation of the best pieces from all sections, which formally closed things off. I was very disappointed to have missed the first half of the show, as perhaps that's where Ecliff Elie® would have scored more points in my book and earned my money.
