J.Goode Presents Black Women Rock at Verse Sneaker Boutique

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

J. GOODE PRESENTS BLACK WOMEN ROCK AT VERSE SNEAKER BOUTIQUE
Digital Fashion Event Jumps Off on Valentine's Day in Downtown Oakland

Black Women Rock is the premiere fusion event from the mind of artist and designer Jocelyn M. Goode. It will debut Saturday, February 14, 2009, at Verse Sneaker Boutique in the historic Old Oakland District.

Black Women Rock is a celebration of fashion, music, design, style, and art that is inspired by the many looks and attitudes of the modern black woman. It is retro-funk meets modern chic. It is a tribute to the beauty that encompasses women of African heritage, particularly the modern everyday style icon. "I want to highlight Black women who have made an impact in their respective creative discliplines," Goode explains.

"Women like Lauryn Hill, Naomi Campbell Erykah Badu are all present day examples who inspired so many other young women through their particular art and perspective while balancing their own personal struggles with their own success. That's why they rock."

Black Women Rock is the flagship event for the Fashion Art Interactivity Movement (FAIM) and will feature digital fashion illustrations from the J. Goode Collection, as well as live models and live painting. Music will be provided by DJ Kurse. The event will take place on the evening of Valentine's Day, 4pm to 7pm. Free admission.
