 | | Last Thursday Egypt on The Waterfront was taken over by Moët and Chandons Fashion Statement; a fashion show/history lesson featuring creations of African American designers like Lafayette 148, Sean John, Epperson, Franklin Rowe, Vondra Couture and Phillys own Versace, Lamar Johnson. |
 | | Bronx-born Franklin Rowes Willi Smith-inspired fashions hit the "body pleasing sense" with silks, satins and faux furs resulting in mens pinstripes and ladies floor-touching gowns. |
