Among the designers were Solsai, and Knockabout Fun wear who dazzled with fun patterns and prints. Lee's Fifth Avenue mixed things up with casual and formal pieces in their presentation. All-white line - Coco Beans - incorporated nature with leaves and pops of vibrant colour.
And speaking of white, Anthony Reid showcased a suave all-white male collection, while and drenna Luna brought experience to the runway with high fashion sportswear. An adorable dog made a surprising appearance during her line.
