Fash Art

Fash Art

“The new generation of fashion and art.” This is the slogan of the highly anticipated fashion event Fash Art, scheduled for November 2 &3^rd, 2012 in New Providence, Bahamas. The two-day event fuses fashion, art, and entertainment and will celebrate what is Bahamian.  Founder Kedar Klarke’s, vision to provide a platform for “new” talent to showcase their work locally came to life in 2009 when Fash Art was founded, along with Stylzine Magazine editors: ScharadLightbourne and Nikolas Barnes. Not only has this event provided a platform for local fashion designers and artists to showcase their work, but is now a platform for upcoming models and entertainers as well. With this objective Fash Art is keen on giving back to the community.

This year the event has taken a new approach and have partnered with R.E.A.C.H. (Research and education for autism and related challenges) to promote the awareness of children with autism. Klarke stated that, “ children with autism have the greatest challenge expressing themselves because of the disabling factors related to autism. Art and fashion is our form of expression and we wanted to share that with them.” As a result of this partnership hand bracelets representing the awareness of autism have been created. Proceeds of these bracelets will go to the R.E.A.C.H. foundation.

Another highlight of this year’s event is the 2012 Fash Art is the People’s Choice Awards. The categories for the awards include: Favorite Fashion Designer, Favorite Artist, and Favorite Entertainer. This shows that Fash Art is not only providing a platform for upcoming talent but is taking the time to recognize and reward outstanding talent within the Bahamas.

Fash Art will be by no argument a star studded event and a success, attracting thousands from all over the Bahamas and the world. One can look forward to seeing art and fashion designs of an international standard.
