16Richard & Grace
A male model opened Richard & Grace by standing at the end of the catwalk with a large canvas. As he stood there, the crowd became intrigued at the texture and abstract pattern on the canvas. “I wanted people to see 'Chaos' before they saw any clothing. I wanted whoever would be buying the product to see where the concept is originally coming from, and that’s artwork made in-house,” said designer Josh Allen. I want [people] to know what Chaos stands for and what Richard & Grace stands for: it’s an art brand that pushes philosophy. We all go through chaotic moments in our life, chaotic obstacles. Black, white, rich, poor, we go through these things to get us through the next day. We embrace this chaos to grow up.”

Nel Gaskin of AMATI showcased her views of how we are not always comfortable with being our true selves with her collection, UNMASKED.  “I’m really big on expression of self and I noticed that people have a hard time of doing so,” said Gaskin. “The inspiration behind the name for my brand is actually based off of my artistic skill. I'm a visual artist first before designer, so I paint and hand-draw my creations. AMATI is an abbreviation for Another Making After True Imagination—everything that I create within my imagination, I bring it to life through fabrics.”

Nel Gaskin of AMATI showcased her views of how we are not always comfortable with being our true selves with her collection, UNMASKED.  “I’m really big on expression of self and I noticed that people have a hard time of doing so,” said Gaskin. “The inspiration behind the name for my brand is actually based off of my artistic skill. I'm a visual artist first before designer, so I paint and hand-draw my creations.

Trevor Walker has been traveling across the U.S., attending fashion shows in cities like Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta with one goal in mind: understanding fashion culture and cultivating it in Houston. Now Walker, the president and CEO of CHKMTE Clothing Co., has taken what he learned and put it to work with Front Row Houston, the first of what he plans as an annual charity fashion show focused on giving a platform to local design talent. Held at The Gallery, the first annual event last week benefitted Mothers 2 Mothers, an international nonprofit organization committed to preventing mother-to-child transference of HIV.

“There’s a lot of great designers here who are overlooked, and I feel like Houston has the next fashion culture,” Walker says. “In Houston everybody wants that exclusivity, they want that feel. … Who doesn’t want to sit front row?”
