It was definitely “A Night to Remember” last Tuesday evening in Atlanta, as model Tyson Beckford hosted a fundraiser and tribute to fashion pioneer Bethann Hardison and the late designer Willi Smith.
The event turned a venue in Atlanta?s Atlantic Station into a full fledged fashion show complete with catwalk.
Beckford, along with WSB TV?s Jovita Moore emcee?d the affair, which included a performance by singer Kenny Lattimore, a presentation to Hardison and Smith, and a stunning runway show.
The show featured 70’s inspired fashion in honor of Smith’s WilliWear line and ended with a finale by Atlanta “housewife”/model Cynthia Bailey.
