Why is Gent! so special?
Gent! was created to reunite menswear designers with retail, shoppers and media all in one place. This is the third annual Gent! Menswear Fashion Showcase produced by Brainchild Events and is now expanding to February 16-18, 2017.
Local, regional and national designers showcase their designs on the Gent! Runway, followed by a Pop Up Mens Boutique and a Barber Battle. Past designers have been Casanova (NYC), Shan Keith (STL), Paulie Gibson (STL) and Skif International (STL)
“Becoming partners with The Vital Voice Magazine and expanding Gent! to three days is the first step into creating a Men’s Fashion Week here in the Midwest. In 2018, our goal is to produce 4 days including 2 runway shows”, says event founder and producer Dwight Carter.
“Major fashion markets such as LA and London started dedicating a week of men’s fashion in 2012. Additionally, New York, Milan and Vancouver have all started their own Men’s Fashion Week events. It’s going to take a couple of years but I would like St. Louis to be included to this list - Dwight Carter”
Give yourself the opportunity to experience an all men’s runway show and educate yourself on men's fashion and styling.
Prepare to be amazed by designers Paulie Gibson, Christian Michael, Marcel Coleman Jr, SKIF International and Loyal Collective.
