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.

Talk about creativity. This year’s kick off for the Syracuse Style Fashion Event featured a fashion show with live models encased in the window displays at the Landmark Theater.  Syracuse Fashionista/Designer Lisa Marie Butler was overheard telling visitors to the event, which was held at Jefferson and South Clinton Streets, that she got the idea from seeing a similar production in another city.

The traditional fashion show will take place next week on Walton Street.
