Walking up to the event at the Eventi Hotel hosted by Jessica White I knew it was going to be good - you could see the colorful lights and hear the music 7 floors down on the street. And I was not disappointed. Between 100-200 people turned out to see the stlying talents of WNBA star Cappie Pondexter.
The show was presented by 4 Seasons Style Management on an outdoor terrace, with 2 bars serving Pinnacle Tropical Punch Vodka concoctions, Tanqueray Gin and tasty Sangrias while DJs Faddelf and Eque spun. Jessica White was on hand to kick off the fashion show styled by Cappie and her business partner, celebrity stylist Lisa Smith-Craig . The focus was on styling a more athletic build with many of the models actually being WMBA players.

The stylists used a combination of designers such as Disposition, Josh Duran and Charles Alpert plus many more. The looks were predominately black, which a few exceptions, and had a definite dark edge to them. When asked what her inspiration was for the looks she pulled Cappie referenced Alexander Wang and Helmut Lang among her favorite designers and the motivation for the outfits. A couple of the stand out pieces were fitted black bodysuit and shorts with great shoulder pads made out of individual strips of shiny patent leather that rounded high over the shoulder to form a bubble effect as well as a great gold chain number that closed the show.
Even though Cappie still has a lot of basketball ahead of her I have a feeling that the fashion industry will welcome her with open arms when she's ready to focus all her attention in this direction. This is one of the main reasons Jessica signed up to host the event. While she hasn't known the basketball superstar for long when she heard about what Cappie was trying to accomplish through the message that female athletes can in fact still be sexy, fashionable and feminine she knew it was something she wanted to be a part of.
Good luck to Cappie and her team with the rest of their season and we're looking forward to seeing more of her talents off the court! And thanks to Jessica for supporting such a great message!
