It was a dark and stormy night as fashionistas filled fusion restaurant Bengal Coast. Miguel Atkins, in league with BKP Entertainment, was hosting his debut fashion show, which promised to be a little hot and edgy. The evidence wasn't just in the Facebook flyer but his overall album, full of dark yet outrageous details.
Atkins delivered, almost two hours later than expected, a mix of Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and not just for women. Surprisingly, he pushed the envelope by showing menswear inspired by current trends in pop. I'm already a big fan of studs but throw in some denim and black shininess and you got me sold.
The only thing i felt was lacking was the number of pieces. Zara at Northpark donated some menswear for the pre-show, which wasn't out of place considering that the location was geared towards the urban male as was the clothing. But I would have liked more focus on Atkins' collection because it was truly show material.
I apologize for the lack of quality in the photo but my camera wasn't feeling the club atmosphere at Bengal Coast - too dark. I've been trying to contact the photographer to no avail. I will update as soon as I get some good pictures.
