BET Honors – Chi-Town Style Collab: SoundChick & The 828 Collection

At SoundChick we have a myriad of creative friends pursing their passions  through the arts, fashion and entertainment industry. Many of us are on the rise and have exciting opportunities hurling our way. Over the past three years, friend of SoundChick Comedian and Writer Vanessa Fraction has had the amazing opportunity to host the BET Honors Awards Pre-Show preceding the live awards awards show taping.  This year Vanessa and I discussed wardrobe options for the event and although initially she found the perfect elegant vintage dress, I suggested a dress from Suzette Opara of The 828 Collection a phenomenal fashion designer and seamstress from Chicago. I personally have a collection of at least five dresses in my closet from The 828 Collection.

I highly recommend Suzette’s designs for any formal occasion where a show stopping piece is a must. We called up Suzette and she created a concept for the the dress to be worn for the 2014 BET Honors Awards show. “I want to design something for her that is sexy but clean and smart and chic. Something that shows sex appeal but nothing too sexy where she wouldn’t be taken serious as a writer.” We went with a light crepe yellow stretch crepe backless gown and embellished it with SoundChick Accessories Feather Collar & Cuff. Suzette whipped up an amazing masterpiece in just two days. Vanessa was stunning in the dress as it fit like a glove as she described. She warmed up the crowd with her bright spirit and signature funny bone tickling stories that dive into her adventurous and hilarious escapades. Beautiful and gracious, Vanessa gets up and personal with audience members and gets them active and moving which moves loosen them to smile and laugh for a live television show taping experience. Vanessa did a phenomenal job as the BET Honors Pre-Show host and The 828 Collection & SoundChick Accessories style collaboration was an absolute rave. Legendary celebrities from Arethla Franklin, Berry Gordy and Janelle Monae loved the stunning gown and accessories and  and complemented the perfect fit of the gown. Visit www.vanessafraction.com to see her reel, performance, an appearance schedule. For The 828 Collection visit Facebook. Be sure to tune in to The BET Honors on Monday February 24, 2014.
