Back for its third annual fashion and networking event, Fashion Fete NYC kicks of its New York City casting calls for models and fashion designers this Friday at Bush Baby Lounge, 1197 Fulton Street in Brooklyn.

Fashion Fete, quickly becoming one of the most talked about fashion events for Christians - bar none, takes place every summer, boasting sold-out crowds, top designers, sought after models, celebrity stylists, make-up artists, hair stylists and more. This year, the show moves to Tribeca’s M1-5 Lounge on August 19, a larger venue that will accommodate the success of past events.

Catapulted by the event’s expansion, the Fashion Fete planning team is also ready to expand its reach by incorporating top designers and models from the New York area and outside of the region.

Every participant in Fashion Fete will receive a promotional photo shoot, a 3-min promotional video, exposure to 200+ patrons on that evening, and additional exposure worldwide via live blogging and live streaming.
