Last September was the successful launch of our borough’s first ever Bronx Fashion Week which was held at the Andrew Freedman Home.
On the first night of the event, several Bronx men who were nominated for Bronx Fashion Week’s Distinguished Gentleman Award came on the runway to strut their stuff as they wore their finest threads. Amongst the cast who ran the catwalk were Baron Ambrosia, New York City Councilman Andy King, and Lenny Caro, president of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce.
So who won?
Last year, Bronx Fashion Week 2014 made history in September at the Andrew Freedman Home as the borough’s first Fashion Week ever.
