As usual, I made it my business to spend my Sunday soaking in the outerwear life that Antwann Binion offers through his Fur and Leather fashion show. There were some other folks in the mix, too, that showcased everything from jewelry to stilettos and holiday outfits, but I must admit that Binion was who I came to see as he came back for year 7 – although it’s always a joy to see Hasina Designz. I know it irritated a couple of folks, but I really loved how mistress of ceremonies Sandra Roberts Frenched up Antwann’s name. I hate to admit it, but I was quietly underwhelmed by what Binion was serving up this year. He seemed to have played it safe as far as the styles, designs and color. But that black leather trench/pea coat with the fur collar that Malik wore the mess out of was so stylish it was absolutely sickening.  I wonder if Twann has a women’s version of the coat…in a 2X. Pound for pound it was a good show, though. I caught life from one of the male models – who was clearly a retired exotic dancer by the way shimmied and shifted his jacket to showcase his midsection. I was also surprisingly impressed by the musical entertainment offered up by Maestro whatever the rest of his name is. He sounded great and played the keys extremely well – even if he does need a fashion overhaul…as well as to abandon the rap element of his performance entirely. As usual, Rhoda G had the folks whooping and hollering with her mad sax skills. But she had me cackling out loud when she clowned the janky spotlight operator. He deserved it. He had the little light all up in Rhoda’s face, but decided that the midsection would be the most appropriate focal point for the models. Help. And when he liked the runway music, you could see the poor little light bouncing to the beat. Help. The spotlight shortcomings aside, the show was still worth me crawling from under the covers on a chilly Sunday evening.
