After a fashion-less show for her line last season, Sheree feels triumphant with her new line and her successful showing.
“For the show, everyone said they felt like they were in Paris, and not Atlanta. I used to go to Fashion Week, so I knew how it should be done,” Sheree says.
Now on to the fashion . . .
She By Sheree showcased 25 designs for the fall 2009 collection, which consisted of mostly muted tones of black, gray and blue. The show-stopping look of the night was this formal one-shoulder gown with tulle train.
Black is one thing that will never go out of style, ladies. Take a cue from this runway look and invest in an embellished trench coat for fall. Belting everything is still a hot trend, so find the right size that works for the varying outfits in your wardrobe.
The rumors are true−She By Sheree girls have tons of fun in their clothes. Step up your corporate attire with a flirty blouse in a bold color.
First Lady Michelle Obama sure loves her sheath dresses, and Sheree highlights this classic silhouette in her fall collection. This style of dress will create a figure-flattering shape for both your hips and waist.
We love this elegant, effortlessly styled look from the collection. The metallic silk silver top adds a light and feminine touch to this basic black trouser pant.
If you love to show off your legs, then this short-sleeve dress with mock turtle neck is perfect for you. The wide black belt works great to show off the model’s waist.
Most of the pieces in the collection had a classic feel to them—except for this overtly sexy and misplaced bustier with lace ruffled boy shorts. Would you wear this?
Sheree shuts it down on the runway with this cream silk metallic jumper that is all the rage this season. Jumpers work best on women who have long legs and have thighs that are proportionate with the upper body. The layered necklaces step this look up a notch and is something you can easily replicate at home.
It’s a return of big hoops and leggings; hello, 80’s! The only thing we love about this outfit is the black booties, which you should definitely invest in if you don’t already own a pair.
Sheree certainly took a risk with this off-shoulder blouse; it’s a throwback to the 80’s. Would you rock this?
After months of hard work in the design room, Sheree sends her models out to take their final walk at the close of the show.
“This line is geared towards women who are identifying with their inner beauty and are empowered to express their freedom of style," says Sheree about her collection. "This is a new day and a new dawn for the expression of femininity.”
Kandi congratulates Sheree following the show.
Models embrace Sheree with a big group hug at the end of the show.
