The invitation read “Imagine a night where the worlds of Fashion, Art, Culture and Entertainment collide.”

I was honored to attend the Inaugural Faces of Fashion Gala at the High Museum in Atlanta last weekend.

The Luxe List Atlanta partnered with F.A.C.E.-Fulton County Arts & Culture, and The Finer Events for a star studded evening.

Atlanta has long been know for its history, it’s music and it’s sports. The goal of the evening was to now establish the city’s presence in the Fashion World.

By honoring many of their locals, this event definitely was the first step in establishing the city in the Fashion Industry.

After a Red Carpet interview, I entered the cocktail party before the event.

My vegetarian diet was catered too during the dinner portion. Beautiful and delicious!!

Cynthia Bailey, actress, model and founder of the Bailey Agency School of Fashion, was the first honoree.

My favorite Real Housewife of Atlanta graciously accepted her award in a glamorous sequined pantsuit.

Americas Next Top Model Eva Marcille was up next. From the Young and The Restless to the runway, I’ve been following her career for years.

This Real Housewife Alum also chose a jumpsuit. The pink background with the black graffiti like flowers was stunning.

Fashion photographer Robert Ector took the stage looking quite fashionable himself. His gold and black brocade robe was on trend for the night. He looked right at home on the other side of the camera.

Actor, HMUA and honorary Housewife Miss Lawrence gave a heartfelt speech. I was particularly looking forward to seeing them. Miss Lawrence inspired me long ago to be myself. Dress for myself. And not care what other people think you should be. They’re unique ensemble will be recreated by me in the future!

Another honorary Housewife, hair stylist and event planner, the Fabulous Dwight Eubanks ripped the runway before accepting his award. In his true over the top nature, Dwight wowed everyone in a white and blue satin blazer, dripping in pearls.

I’m totally in love with this blazer!! And Dwight has always had my full attention while on screen.

Rapper, actor, television presenter, and author, Fonzworth Bentley spoke so eloquently while accepting his award.

He shared childhood stories of his love of fashion and how his grandfather helped mold him into the well dressed gentleman he is today.

To me this man is single-handedly responsible for keeping men dapper throughout the years. Trends come and go. Fashion changes, but style is forever. And this man has style.

He was very approachable and so nice taking time to talk with all of us. Truly a class act.

All eyes were on music mogul Devyne Stephens as he accepted his award in all black, sequins and fringe. Complete with satin gloves.

This talented man is passionate about music but even more passionate about his community.

Lady in Red, Randi Layne, came dressed to impress. The founder of Catwalk Productions arrived in a monochromatic red ensemble featuring a heart shaped décolleté.

Catwalk Productions serves a truly diverse industry base and features over 40 years of industry experience. They’ve been featured in, designed, produced and directed fashion shows from coast to coast.

Songwriter and Producer Rico Wade selflessly praised so many people while accepting his award. He ditched his hip hop attire for a blue suite with a satin bow tie and received much accolades from his peers in the room.

This was truly a high point in my fashion blogging career. And a night I will never forget.
