Established Designers:

Kenneth Harion Couture

This portion of Phoenix Fashion Week marked couture designs with unique details such as a white gown lined in giant pearls, a red tasseled and beaded dress, and a black and beige graphic sparkling ensemble. Despite the over-the-top details on every piece, and models with three-bun mohawks, the collection remained elegant and stunning with bejeweled cuffs and embellished corsets. 

Yen

The most beautiful and well-put together show of the night, Yen presented a texturized and sparkling collection that was anything but simple. Coming straight from London Fashion Week 2014, each look was polished, from a tea-party style floral-embellished dress and a number of sequined mermaid gowns and minidresses. In its entirety, the collection was cohesive and thoughtful.

Rocky Gathercole

Filipino designer Rocky kicked off the spectacular and surprising finale with a red Avant Garde ensemble with large horns on the model’s head and a weaved ribcage. The collection was not short of color, with multicolor, hot pink and red beaded and tasseled looks brightening up the runway. Rocky’s use of large pink roses and pipe cleaners (and even a Hello Kitty embellished dress) in his designs could have easily looked cheap, but instead were works of art. Safe to say, Rocky Gathercole knows how to please a crowd and close a show.
