Members and guests alike were invited to immerse themselves in an experiential event, surrounded by some of the Creative Industries’ most imaginative talent.  Montgomery ‘The Image Guru’ Frazier led the style component along with some of New York’s most exciting fashion designers, including SohoMuse members Malan Breton, Nicole Miller, Marc Bouwer, and luxury lifestyle brand Dur Doux.  Each designer had their own personalized ‘environment’ within the showroom and SohoMuse models, courtesy of Dale Noelle’s True Model Management, brought their latest fashions to life.

Incredible performances by SohoMuse members included Canadian superstar violinist, Judy Kang, and Broadway’s “Kinky Boots” star, Kevin Smith Kirkwood.
