The entertainment for the evening opened the runway with an extraordinary
performance from one of the top 10 female
guitarists Malina Moye who set the tone with an electrifying experience on stage. Malina’s star style presence on stage
excited the audience as she walked down the runway in a stylish designer
ensemble created just for her by For The Stars Fashion House Presenting
Rocky Gathercole. The added plus factor, several runway models were
flanked on both side of the runway in couture embellished gowns and
intricate provocative body wear that gave the audience a stunning
opening for what was to come on the runway. Malina has just completed
her new record ROCK N ROLL BABY with the first single K-yotic featuring
Bootsy Collins.
