NEW YORK — In the heart of February, amidst the chill of winter, New York Fashion Week burst into vibrant life with Art Hearts Fashion playing host to a dazzling array of designers. Stepping into the limelight were creative powerhouses such as Selenee, Danny Nguyen, Love for Upcycling, Glaudi, and David Tupaz, each bringing their unique vision to the runway.
The setting for this sartorial spectacle was nothing short of spectacular: a Victorian church-style venue that added an air of grandeur and mystique to the proceedings throughout the weekend. But it wasn’t just about the fashion; guests were treated to a live stream of the Super Bowl, seamlessly integrated into the event until the end of the halftime show on Sunday.
The grand finale on Sunday night left attendees in awe as the runway showcased the avant-garde creations of the Black Tape Project. Models adorned with intricate black tape designs strutted down the catwalk, leaving little to the imagination in a display that was as daring as it was mesmerizing.
However, amidst the spectacle and the glamour, there was a palpable sense of marketing savvy at play. The inclusion of the Black Tape Project seemed more geared towards entertaining guests rather than appealing to the discerning tastes of fashion connoisseurs and buyers. Nevertheless, it undeniably added an element of intrigue and anticipation to the proceedings.

In the midst of the whirlwind of creativity and innovation, one designer stood out as particularly memorable: LUV: Limitless Vibrant Unique by Far Out Toys. Their collection and models perfectly embodied and matched Far Out Toys physical Barbie dolls, a sight that was as whimsical as it was unexpected, leaving an indelible impression on all who witnessed it.
Capturing the essence of the event were the talented photographers in the pit, with SeksWilsonPhoto seen in previous articles capturing Lavish by LauLau events, lead the charge. Their images, featured prominently in this article, not only showcased the stylish designs on the runway but also captured the infectious energy of the venue and the eclectic mix of fashion enthusiasts on the red carpet.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the generous support of event sponsors. From C4 Smart Energy drink to Empress 1908 Gin, along with Smart Water, Billion Dollar Beauty, Unite, and BeachWaver each sponsor played a vital role in bringing Art Hearts Fashion to life, ensuring that guests were treated to an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
As the curtains closed on another exhilarating edition of New York Fashion Week, Art Hearts Fashion once again proved itself to be a beacon in the world of fashion. With each designer pushing the boundaries of what is possible, it’s clear that the future of fashion is in very capable hands. A go-to for stylists, media, and celebrities, AHF has been attended by Britney Spears, Oscar Winner Adrien Brody, Kelly Rutherford, Nick Cannon, CeeLo Green, Drew Barrymore, Adriana Lima, Curtis Young “50 Cent”, Jason Derulo, Laura Sylvia, Tyson Beckford, Garrett Neff, Philip Bloch, Steve Madden, Nicky Jam, Linsday Lohan, Floyd Mayweather, Terrell Owens, Ashanti, Food God Jonathan Cheban, and many more.
