For Immediate Release Wednesday August 20 2014 Blue Candies By Charlene Kimber Ripped New York’s Runway in the
Summer Night Sky Fashion Fundraiser Event for The Lupus Foundation Of America New Jersey Chapter.
Presented By Alba’s Exclusive Events and Enspire Magazine. The Event was held at Contra Studios
located in Manhattan on Saturday August 16 2014 at 6pm.
Up and coming Fashion Designer Charlene Kimber, from Cincinnati Ohio floored the crowd with her
clothing line Blue Candies. Boasting, jaw dropping comfort fit designs and bright bold colors that made
her handmade unique knitwear a definite show stopper. “I wanted to bring them something different,
something that they had never seen before” said Charlene that night following the show.
In addition to the fundraiser the event was also a unique opportunity for talented fashion designers. The
event attracted the participation of some of the most creative makeup artists, trend setting hair stylists
and stunning runway models. This is a positive event for New York City, creating job opportunities
for stylists, models and others involved in fashion throughout the year. Designers can showcase their
collections on a modest budget and travelers to New York will have another fun activity to attend
throughout the year.
This show is very special to Blue Candies as it is going to make a new mark in the fashion industry
where knitwear was first thought to be a blanket your Grandmother made. Common people can
also afford the designer wears. Charlene Kimber said, “I am overwhelmed and honored. I am proud
that I was a part of this event and I think that designer knitwear will become a trend that stays”.
This affordable clothing line is sure to create a rage not only among fashionistas but also among the
consumers. As well”
Blue Candies will be coming out with a men’s and women’s athletic clothing line next spring.
