Rakia's Style Nation: Philly Rocks The Red Carpet in LA
Rakia's Style Nation:
Philly Rocks The Red Carpet In LA
The GRAMMYs are still all the buzz in Philly with Philly 360° Creative Ambassadors The Roots taking three GRAMMY Awards and nominations for our other Creative Ambassadors, Carvin and Ivan. Although The Grammy’s are all about the music, we cannot forget the red carpet fashion, especially since Philly’s own designers and stylists dressed some of these stars--and they looked fabulous!
Also, check out everything else Philly was up to in LA, as Philly took the GRAMMYs by storm this year. Click here to watch the video and see the photos of some of your favorite Philly music folks, like The Roots.
Carmelita Couture
Designs from Philly's very own Carmelita Couture showed up on the red carpet three times!
First look: Philly-based GRAMMY nominated producer Ivan Barias, of Carvin and Ivan, walked the carpet with his fiancé Selena Jones who was wearing a Carmelita original.
Second look: Dweezil Zappa's date dazzled in red and pink in a Carmelita dress.
Third look: Samantha Marq , heiress of S.C. Johnson, was spotted rocking a fun shoulder look from Carmelita during the week.
To get some of these red carpet worthy looks, visit Carmelita Couture located at 17 N. 3rd Street.
AH Styling Inc.
Anthony Henderson of AH Styling Inc. is a local stylist who splits his time between LA and Philly. He was very much a part of the GRAMMYs this year and styled three of the looks that showed up on the carpet!
First look: Samantha Marq, the heiress of S.C Johnson.
Second look: Artist and songwriter, Adrian Anderson, rocked the carpet with her look.
Third look: Tionne Williams, who is a Universal Music Group Pop Recording Artist/Actor.
