B. MICHAEL 2015 Spring Collection AfterpartyB Michael showed his 2015 Spring Collection at New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to a stylish crowd.
Said the designer; “This collection continues my vision to create a genre of taste that is inspired by The Art Of Advanced American Style, from the Shirt-Dress to the Red-Carpet; It’s Back To The Future.”
Raised in Durham, Connecticut, the designer found early design inspirations in his mother’s creativity and keen sense of style. He attended the University of Connecticut and studied at the New York Fashion Institute of Technology.
His collections have garnered appreciative fans including actresses,  socialites and personalities such as Cicely Tyson, Ashley Bouder, Amy Fine Collins, Tamara Tunie, Beyoncé, Nancy Wilson, Susan Fales-Hill, President Barack Obama’s poet laureate Elizabeth Alexander, and Lena Horne, among many others. He also designed the late Whitney Houston’s costumes for the motion picture Sparkle.
Just under 500 guests packed into The Pavilion at the tents at Lincoln center to watch the 45 draw-dropping looks.
