So far, the Fall 2011 season is filled with plenty of tuxedo styles for our beautiful men type but how about some love for the ladies??? This question is being put to the test at Fashion Week in NYC. 

Designer Ralph Lauren, went for the full look with a head-to-toe suit replete with a bowtie and sexy red peep-toe pumps, earrings and pout.   

Alexander Wang paired a sheer bib-front dress with detailed leather trousers; Prabal Gurung sent his sassy lady down the runway in a cummerbund and grosgrain-ribbon-adorned blouse. 

What are your thoughts? Can the ladies of 2011 pull off this empowering tuxedo look??? 

Personally we think they can!!! 

A "Situation" for Tuxedos

 A set of circumstances in which one finds oneself; a state of affairs (per Webster)...so this is a "situation" that the Formalwear Industry finds itself.  A new line of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino tuxedos is set to be apart of the new designer labels available for the 2012 tuxedo season.  The first initial reaction is showing a good response. We will keep you posted on the new looks as soon as images as available.

Formal Fashion Week!

On August 15th 2011, the Southern Independent Formalwear Association and International Prom Association teamed up to host the first annual Formal Fashion Week,  a week long networking / buying event designed to showcase today's top formalwear suppliers.  The highly-anticipated event drew nearly 400 attendees from most every state! 


Highlights of Formal Fashion Week included a runway show, featuring such labels as Calvin Klein, Jean Yves, Ralph Lauren, Joseph Abboud and more, a Black Tie Gala benefitting the USO, which raised over $12,000, and many networking events offering retailers the latest on social media and marketing for 2012.   


Feedback from Formal Fashion Week has been overwhelmingly positive; participants found the event to be “amazing” and “a wonderful buying experience.” One retailer was quoted as saying "This is the best show I've attended in over 10 years"!

Formal Fashion Week features Black Tie Gala

Southern Independent Formalwear Association and International Prom Association are proud to take part in the inaugural initiative of International Promise Foundation.

International Promise Foundation was created as a means of giving back directly to the concerns of our industry's social audience.  Much discussion and consideration have gone into our first initiative that evolves around the service families of nearly 2.5 million armed service members.  Each of these families bare one common thread that links them directly to us all, teen children.  In the, anything but normal, lifestyles that teenagers face everyday, those of service families face the added pressures of deployments, relocations, separations and even broken families.  That is why International Promise Foundation has chosen the USO and its teen outreach our first initiative.  The USO reaches out to these teens of military families through various social networks and web based technology.

The initiative will kick off with our Black Tie Gala on Tuesday, August 16, 6pm til 9pm at AmericasMart Atlanta.  A combination of the talent of the USO Liberty Bells, Annual Retailers Choice Awards, Silent Auction Benefit, and the elegance of the Black Tie Gala will make this event a wonderful addition to Formal Fashion Week 2012.
