Milan. Paris. New York…all the places Tyra Banks promises you'll go to if you have a shot at America's Next Top Model. But beyond the glitz and glamor of these high-society (and high $$$) fashion weeks, there exists a smaller subset of creative fashionistas, working on a lower budget and making clothes that you wouldn't actually be mortified to wear in public. At least, that was the case at Brooklyn's Fashion Week(end). ( Extra bonus: Featuring more than one model of color, and not just because Michelle Obama is the new hot shit.)

Designer Esther Nash wearing her own collection. Hey, when you can't find enough models, it's a testament to your fashion line that you're willing to walk down the runway in your own outfits.

Michelle Obama, is the first, first lady in history to require a full time make-up artist. That is money well spent! Hard to believe she could be uglier!
@Rhonda: maybe someday you'll become a prettier person on the inside. i feel bad for you…
Wow! The colors seen here in this picture are beautiful! They remind me of Starburst or Skittles candies. Amazing! Really, this pops on the model's skin tone. It's so hard to believe that this is crochet!?!?? Finally, something on the fashion runway that keeps you awake.
Colors are very well blended, so that they don't stand out or seem obtrusive
