Music and fashion go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, which is why I’m excited to hear about DC50’s Fashion & Lifestyle Expo this weekend with a fashion show and concert. On Saturday, October 10 multi Grammy award winning artist Brian McKnight performs at WDCW-TV’s 2009 Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle Expo at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel with guests models Saleisha Stowers, Sandra Nyanchoka & Isis King rocking the catwalk in fabulous fall trends.
Featured attractions include hourly runway fashion shows – produced by DC50’s industry partner the Greater Washington Fashion Chamber of Commerce – including national fashion brands Betsey Johnson and Ed Hardy!
