It's SMoCA Time!

Busy season has commenced!

The lazy days of summer have passed and even Indian summer has gone
out of season as we roll full steam into fall and the crazed holidays.
Tonight, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art will host SMoCA Nights, as they do every few months. "Epic" will showcase martial-arts inspired dance performed by Capoeira Brasil, followed by the garage-band sound of The MadCaPs. Ballet Arizona will perform to the music of DJ Maji and M2.

And, as always, the evening will conclude with a runway show featuring the designs of some of Arizona's most talented designers: Lacie Bug Designs by Lacie Murphy, Kiki and Belle's Func by Tara Louise Pitts and Krissi Early, SommerChristine Designs by Sommer, Rio Dae 2am Rio Grantham, Jade Lily by Lillian Langford, Soldierleisure by Andy Brown, Rippstyle Clothing by Kenyata Baraka, Coleccion by Alma Primero, and a finale piece by LabelHorde's own Angela Johnson and Rhonda Zayas.

Next Friday, November 12, is our 2nd Annual Fashion Ball. This show is getting bigger by the day. More and more people are jumping on board as sponsors, donating to the VIP gift bag(these bags alone are worth well over the $100 VIP ticket price!), signing up as volunteers, passing out flyers and sending out email blasts, basically doing anything in their power to make this event the success that it should be. For that, we are so grateful. This is not a "LabelHorde event," this is an industry effort, everyone doing their part for what they believe in. It's truly awesome.Some of the little special touches of the night will include a media backdrop, just like you see at the Hollywood premieres. Feel free to step up and pose, you just may end up in print the next day.
As I mentioned earlier, the VIP gift bags are turning into an event all their own. Many designers have donated handmade pieces, boutiques have donated coupons and small items, cosmetic companies have donated products, etc. I'm not going to give you the whole list, there's got to be some surprise involved! If you'd like to purchase a VIP runway seat, which puts you right in the center action, and gets you one of these gift bags, click here. For General tickets, and General Seating, click here.

December will bring about the Downtown Tempe/LabelHorde event. We will be posting more information about this project as it nears. For now, I best be on my way. I still need to design and print the program for SMoCA Nights; yes you did read correctly, the show is tonight…the story of my life.

Best,
Rhonda Zayas
