The MODA MUSA Fashion Show took place at the super fabulous Santa Monica Place Shopping Center and featured designs from Otis College of Art and Design students mentored by Zaid Affas and Marie Mazzaella for Halston, as well as collections from several Santa Monica Place retailers like Bloomingdale's, Boss Hugo Boss, Karen Millen, Tory Burch and The Kooples, styled by the very fab Italian stylist Sara Alviti.

Among the models on the runway stage were featured Santa Monica Community Influencers such as Jacqueline A. Seabrooks, Santa Monica Chief of Police (Diva!), Linda Greenberg, Executive Officer of the Santa Monica-Malibu Foundation, Marianna Gatto, Executive Director of the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, Rob Schwenker, Publisher of the Santa Monica Daily Press, and Kathleen Rawson, CEO of Downtown Santa Monica Inc., to name a few. They were all AMAZING in the MODA MUSA catwalk. I also got to show--along with my design partner David Paul-- a five-piece Red Carpet Glam Capsule Collection from my NIKOLAKI Collection
