HarlemLIVE recently had its First Annual Freestyle Fashion Show at Columbia University's Teacher's College. You weren't there? Well, you should have been - it was history in the making. Presented by Parle and 4T's Productions, it featured the hottest in fashion, a freestyle battle and too many performances to count. The show got off to an exciting start with a performance from Organized Chaos, a group of steppers from Brooklyn Technical High School. Following them was a performance by a 19-year-old phenomenon, one of the hottest upcoming acts representing Queens. Next was the lone freestyle battle of the night between a "white female me" from New Jersey named Lanz and Queens rapper and "106 & Park" challenger Lord Ness. The two battled for three rounds, going harder than Jae Millz and Ness on "Making the Band." Eventually Lord Ness took the title and walked off the stage as the champ. After all of that it was time for the fashion to get started, as HarlemLIVE's models hit the runway strutting the hottest street wear and casual wear for the spring season. SouthPole, Lot 29 and ErvinGeoffrey all participated in the segment of fashion. First, the models took it to the streets with jean suits, halter tops and miniskirts. Then it got a little more casual with button-ups and velours. All the outfits were sexy and incredibly fashionable. Don't be surprised if a lot of these outfits are on the streets this spring.
