Journalist Farah Jadran models the new chic during last night’s Syracuse Style show in Armory Square.
Syracuse Fashion Week came to a climax last night along a runway on Walton Street. The increasingly popular Syracuse Style event drew hundreds (and more if you counted those watching from local pubs and restaurants) downtown to check out the latest in what to wear. CNY Central’s Michael Benny returned as the host, but this year worked with TK99’s Lisa Chelenza. Techno background beats were provided by Tom P of Pax Effex.
This year’s event benefited the Landmark Theater.
We also found out about an event called Syracuse Fashion Weekend, ask which will take place Friday, October 11, 2013 at the OnCenter.

Speaking Quite Frankly: Stephen A. Smith
Writer, TV personality and NBA insider Stephen A. Smith came to Syracuse University last night and schooled the students on the importance of building your work ethic as well as your personal brand.
Smith fielded dozens of questions ranging in topics from changing a major to the good bad and ugly of NBA players: Tim Duncan, Jeremy Lin, Kwame Brown and Allen Ivrerson.
He said being in college is a great place and time to pay your dues on the way to seeking any particular career path. “I’ve never taken less than 17 credit hours when I was in school…” he said. “…I also liked to party.”
Stephen A. Smith tells SU students to pay their dues.
Smith’s talk, which was partly motivational, but delivered in his trademark sarcasm and ribs, also touched on the the NCAA Tournament, TV revenue for sports, politics and the evolution of the black athlete.
According to Smith, too many fans over-celebrate contenders before they become champions.
