BALTIMORE'S OWN BISHME CROMARTIE'S PRE FALL 2016 COLLECTION FEATURES BREATHTAKING STRUCTURED LOOKS

By Sharra Greene

     Designer Bishme Cromartie's looks always exude poise, innovation, and luxury. I'm extremely proud to say that he's from my city. The young  Baltimore native is self taught and has been creating collections since age 16. His chic yet edgy styles have been on the likes of legendary soul singer Jill Scott and  model / actress Eva Marcille, just to name a few.  For the Pre Fall '16 season, his models were nothing short of walking art as they gave statesuesque poses on juxtaposed platforms for his breathtaking lookbook.

     The collection's hero colors included a metallic deep wine shade, burgundy, and pale rose with nude shoes. Structure played a major part in the forms of exaggerated ruffles and elegant draping. Metallic fabrics were also a common theme. Though the entire collection was marvelous and I have way too many favorite looks to name, one that really stood out at first glance was the metallic wine colored halter top with a fanned out ruffle and a burgundy pencil skirt (below). Much like the rest of the line, the look was flawessly executed.

     It's quite obvious that we'll be seeing a lot more creative genius from Bishme in fashion's coming years. Much respect for him as an artist! See his entire Pre Fall reveal below.
