Checking into Hotelito

by Wahnita September 23, 2022
written by Wahnita
     On Tuesday, September 13th, Kevin Hall revealed his crisp, classic, hotel inspired line “Hotelito“ during NYFW. Hotelito‘s bold, resounding, backdrop, and sunset on the glassy ocean waves, of Todos Santos, Mexico were the motivating force, and pallet behind Hall’s 2023 Spring/Summer collection. From beaded lace fringe, to graphic-print,  bright neons, reversible belts, you’ll witness gatherings, gowns , and getaways  become iconic  memories!

The venue was an intimate all white space, with a non-traditional flow including two nooks for press. This also made the audience feel like they were apart of the show instead of onlookers. The bare runway allowed viewers to experience every  color, texture, accessory and mood of each piece.  Some audience favorites and runway highlights were; the pink high waisted cargo gown skirt, the white lace shirt dress, the lazer-cut confection dresses, and the multi beaded lace bodice crepe gown. The accessories were refined, subtle statement pieces and embellishments that complemented and highlighted each look. Every element of a timeless, elegant allure was observed in “Hotelito” . There were beaded sequined party looks, and flirty feminine summer cut outs. Plunging necklines, thigh high splits, and off the shoulder gowns serving just the right amount of skin. Greatness was in all aspects of this line especially in the thoughtful details!

Hall is so much more than an accomplished designer from Detroit. Kevin Hall is a mentor and teacher in his own right. His contributions to the fashion world extend beyond carefully curated, well sewn fabric. Providing the community with business, education, and mentorship opportunities for costume, and fashion designers. Kevin Hall is a fashion evolutionist!  “Hotelito” is the perfect example of his passion, and gift to inspire and balance the bold, and dynamic, with hybrid fits draped in sexy, sophistication!

Old Forester Hosts A 2022 Kentucky Derby viewing party

by Wahnita May 14, 2022
written by Wahnita

The Knockturnal sends a big thank you to all the brilliant minds that took part in creating such a polished, well-bred, celebration of the 2022 Kentucky Derby! On May 7th, at the Whatever Forever Food Hall, Old Forester partnered with the Lito Creative marketing  group to promote Old Forester’s Mint Julep Bourbon by bringing the Kentucky Derby‘s iconic themes, and customs to Brooklyn, New York. 

Respectfully adding a Brooklyn flair to a century of derby traditions and culture, this upscale Kentucky Derby viewing party consisted of a beautiful, warm lounge,  filled with black leather, walnut oak decor, and a rockin’ DJ. Perfect for taking the chill off of a dreary day! Invitees were  encouraged  to wear a  derby hat (an essential staple in derby fashion) along with  debonair accoutrements to match. Upon arrival guests were greeted with a complimentary Mint Julep, the derby’s customary drink.

Every table top was garnished  with an elegant bouquet of roses, symbolic of the Winner of the races being covered in flowers celebrating the victor Rich Strike. In addition to the  sweet smelling roses. The customized artwork of Amorous Abyss was on display. Amorous Abyss is famously known for his art and the way it highlights moments of intimacy, and appreciation illustrated by using flowers, and a thoughtful quote.

With vibes as smooth as the drinks, and atmosphere. Old Forester‘s partnership with Lito’s brilliant Creative advertising team, turned into an exciting social event for a day at the races.  Especially for Kentucky Derby goers who found themselves far from home.
