Designer Tia Adeola hosted a dinner and film screening to showcase her latest Spring/Summer 2024 collection. The event took place at the chic venue Spring Space in the heart of Tribeca. The sponsor of the evening was the pure coconut water brand 100 Coconuts.
Servers sported the brand’s “Black Jesus” T-shirts, as several dinner guests were draped in original pieces. Tia Adeola’s designs have a sensual undertone that reflects the art of feminity. The brand is known for its signature sheer styles and ode to the Renaissance period, where designer Tia garners inspiration.
Adding to the luxury ambiance were several fashion tastemakers and influencers. Guests included Zerina Akers, Joy Bridges, Lycia Lamini, Jennifer Udechukwu, Blake Newby, Gen-Z it girl Aliyah’s Interlude, Jada Kingdom, Serayah, Joey Bada$$, LAYA, Draya Michelle and more! 9-year old fashion blogger Taylen Bigss also interviewed Tia herself.
After being served a delicious dinner, attendees headed to the viewing room for the film screening. With her love for film and educational background in culture and media, Adeola used a different medium to showcase her new line. The film pays homage to early roots “Slashed by Tia” and shows the evolution of her brand today. We see scenes of models through a curved staircase and entering into a ballroom as the movement flows with the clothes. “It embodies where I am at in life,” said Adeola. “Sort of fun, learning, growing, and experiencing New York City.” To cap the evening, attendees headed to Harbor nightclub to experience the after-party with a special performance from Coi Leray!
