The show exposed the exquisite craftsmanship of the designer’s creations which were beyond captivating.  The Designers were all multi-talented and came from all parts of the globe. Ear Hustle 411 was honored to take part in covering this elaborate and impeccable Finale. 

The event started early with an unbelievable children’s fashion show.  Their clothes were perfectly selected for each tween model who wore the items as if they were sewn specifically for them.  The attitudes were on point and their walk was pristine.  Each model challenged the next to bring their ‘A’ game while strutting their stuff down the runway.  They all exuded professionalism at all times and made you forget that they were only children.
