Thanks to the Las Vegas Fashion Design Council, Fridays are Fashionable and Saturdays are Sexy!

LAS VEGAS - Oct. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- In Las Vegas, Fridays have been quite Fashionable lately and Saturdays are about to get Sexier! The Las Vegas Fashion Design Council (LVFDC) presents the debut of their Sexy Saturdays event this Saturday, October 4^th, 9pm to 11pm at Vegas Life TV Studio & Event Center, which is also the home of David Tupaz Couture. The concept of Sexy Saturdays is to give undergarment, swim wear and club wear designers a chance to showcase their creations on the runway and in the audience.

Sexy Saturdays will be co-hosted this month by Las Vegas Performers and LVFDC Ambassadors Joze Perez and Jennifer Romas, featuring an exciting runway show with male and female models in the new modern/hip Men's underwear line, The Longer Johns Collection, by Designer Jordan Christopher, with a live vocal performance by Disco Diva Suzi Lane and Special Guests LVFDC Ambassadors, Michelle Roxy Davis, host of the 702 Rox Radio Show and Tiffani Neilson, author of Sin City Survival Guide.

The LVFDC has been steadily gaining international attention thanks to Founder and Executive Director, Las Vegas based Designer David Tupaz, who recently returned from a very successful trip to New York Fashion Week. Tupaz unveiled his new 40 piece Spring/Summer 2015 collection, inspired by the sights, sounds and excitement of Las Vegas, to a sold out, standing room only audience at the Kalayaan Hall - Philippine Center on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. “The main objectives of the Las Vegas Fashion Design Council are to build industry, create jobs, provide free education, nurture talent, and create awareness by establishing signature fashion events in Las Vegas. We are not just about the glamour or the illusion of the fashion industry, we are a real working council that produces tangible results within our community!” declares Tupaz.

The Las Vegas Fashion Design Council, a non-profit 501c3 organization, incorporated in 2012, is supported by Mayor Carolyn Goodman and the City of Las Vegas as well as Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development. The LVFDC is comprised of real Fashion Designers and Industry Professionals with proven track records in their field of expertise. While in New York for Fashion Week, Tupaz presented a letter of support for the LVFDC from Mayor Goodman to the CFDA, Council of Fashion Designers of America, which boasts membership of industry icons Anna Wintour, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenberg and Michael Kors, among many other well-known and respected designers and industry personnel.

“The Las Vegas Fashion Design Council is now receiving calls from designers in other states, intrigued by the accomplishments of the LVFDC, inquiring about what Las Vegas has to offer with regards to manufacturing facilities and skilled labor,” according to LVFDC President, Designer Mitch Adkinson, “We are encouraging designers to relocate their operations to the Silver State and take advantage of our warmer business climate, like this week’s Sexy Saturdays featured designer, Jordan Christopher, who hails from the Sunshine State”.

As the fashion industry grows in Las Vegas, the need for a properly trained workforce increases.  The LVFDC provides mentorship, educational and training programs, seminars and workshops to aspiring designers, seamstresses, tailors, models, photographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, etc. Membership to the LVFDC is FREE and by invitation only, so the LVFDC depends on donations from the community to keep their programs thriving.

Since June of this year, the LVFDC has been hosting a very successful monthly fundraising/industry networking event, Fashion Fridays, which takes place after work on the 4^th Friday of every month. The LVFDC Official PR and Event Producer, Traci Smith, with Rockin’ Las Vegas, explains, “Fashion Fridays is our primary fundraising source for the Las Vegas Fashion Design Council. This event is a sophisticated gathering of industry, designers, models, musicians, performers, fashionistas and business professionals looking to network and build their referral base. Fashion Fridays is open to the public and we average 200 people each month. In addition to networking, the event features two designer runway fashion shows, with collections from a student designer and an established designer, a live musical performance and other special community guests. Admission is free and we are grateful for the donations attendees have made in support of the LVFDC”.
