As event organizers get ready for Brooklyn?s first Fashion Weekend in Flatbush, one local designer is getting ready to debut his evening gown collection.
By day, Gerald Bazile workers at JFK airport. By night, the 27-year-old Haitian-born resident is designing and making dresses for his Duroseau Couture collection. Bazile says he likes to feature polka dots, bold colors and delicate fabrics in his designs.
Bazile says actress Robin Givens recently wore one of his dresses for a magazine spread. He adds bringing his glamorous collection to Fashion Weekend will be a lifelong dream fulfilled.
The Brooklyn Fashion Weekend will be held May 5 through May 7.
