This weekend, The 'Fit Squad had the opportunity to team up again with Isaiah Johnson of A Collected Gentleman and emerging designer Micah Patton, to shoot his collection of graphic tees, custom jackets, and many other products. The self-titled line; "Micah Patton", features funky, unique and fresh designs, right out of the arsenal of the Art Assassin himself. Below are some of the images that were captured behind the scenes and some of the final images that will be added to his website and blog.









Micah will also be a featured vendor at this year's Trend*Setting fashion showcase: NY/NC Fashion Row Fashion Show and Designer Competition held on June 22, at 8pm at Perimeter Park in Morrisville, NC. 

More information and tickets to the show can be found by clicking here. The event is presented and sponsored by Avance' Enterprise, Llc, The Session Magazine, and Lindsey Media Group and promises to be more spectacular than the past years!!











Congrats on your line Micah, and The 'Fit Squad looks forward to working with you more in the future.

New Client Alert: Suzette R. Hinton-Author of "The Sound of My Life"

This past week, The 'Fit Squad had the pleasure of styling  a wonderful new client. She is such an inspiration and gave us the opportunity to styler her for an important event in her life!!..She is a newly published author, life coach, musical genius and all around joy to work with: Ms. Suzette R. Hinton!!  The name of her book is "The Sound of My Life" and she details her journey of "living in the background, to knowing her dreams matter" -Suzette R. Hinton. Find out more about her and her book here.
The book can be purchased here (amazon.com).

What we did: Personal Shopping, Styling and coordination.
We had to come up with a look that was comfortable for Suzette during her Book launch but that was age-appropriate for a fun, vivacious 50+ year-young woman. She wanted to remain true to her personal image that she displays on her website, but also have something that says "Here I AM, I'm Living Life and I'M HAPPY!!"..

What we came up with:
We were able to put together a cool casual look that Suzette loved and was comfortable in during her book launch.
Check out the transformation and the end result!! (look details after pics)
