For the first Gateway Gem feature, I'm
giving you the scoop on the inaugural Missouri Fashion Week! (Not to
be confused with St. Louis Fashion Week, which I will be attending next month.
Yes, St. Louis is sparkling with so much style that we now have another major
fashion week!) The 4-day extravaganza
featured hip hop performances, 20 talented designers, and several local
vendors. MOFW was held at The Moto Museum, an ultra-cool space
surrounded by motorcycles and biker-inspired outfit creations. For my first official "VIP experience," I was
treated to a swag bag of coupons, chocolate, and cute
flip-flops.
Night 1: Pronto!
The first evening of was a tribute to
St. Louis' long-running Pronto
Fashion Show. The show started with an explosive dance performance by
"choreographer to the stars" Wizdom Truth. Next, looks from 7
designers graced the runway. My personal fave was RFD by Rachel Frank's line showcasing feathers, leather and animal-themed headdresses. Wearable? No. Innovative and showstopping? Absolutely!
For my outfit, I
selected a spicy satin minidress from Women's Closet Exchange. Not only did I score it for a ridiculous price ($29.99,
marked down from $220), I love how it tastefully covers my baby bump and is still
short and sassy. I also donned my sparkly stilettos. Cute before comfort!

Night 4: Biker Chic
I missed Thursday and Friday nights due
to other obligations, but was amped for the MOFW finale.
After another energetic Wizdom Truth dance performance, the "Biker
Chic" themed-show featured 4 designers. I appreciate the inherent coolness
and versatility of anything leather, but am not much of a
sporty spice. So, my favorite pieces of the night were more glam. Daniel Jolivette showed an amazing white leather dress. I was
also blown away by a black coat from Haus by Sierra Moses that had sparkly
puffed sleeves. My overall verdict of the event? A resounding, fashionable
success!
