Philadelphia Fashion Week hit its stride in night two celebrating street wear and hip-hop. Once again, the night kicked off with student designers, this time from Philadelphia University.
After a few sets from the turntables, models sauntered down the runways in fresh designs by Street Star Custom Clothing, GAR-DE, Nine Days, S. LOVE and Triple 5 Soul.
Philly native Tu Phace also took to the mic and rocked the crowd during Triple 5 Soul's trip down the catwalk. Action News' own Ali Gorman and Sarah Bloomquist welcomed fashionistas to the event, and Rick Williams was front and center, enjoying the sights with his wife.
