The Arts Hearts Fashion, now a staple for Fashion Week, was established in 2011 by Erik Rosete and has benefited many charities.  It is supported by many celebrities and has become a platform for designers to showcase their collections. This year, it was the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. It featured some fabulous designers starting with M The Movement, Mister Triple X, MessQueen, Artistix and ending with the amazing Maggie Barry.

M The Movement featured some awesome eco friendly streetwear for men and women.  Layered looks with leather, cotton and button up jackets. Soft formfitting dresses for women, as well as flirty short leather skirts and sexy leather shorts. Even a sexy lace bra covered by a see through black material paired with jeans..just to spice it up a bit! Vests lined with leather, for the men, added a bit of a bad boy feel to the collection. Gotta love leather! Bow-ties as accessories for women and pashmina scarves for men created soft tones.
