Fashion Hunks
Philadelphia Fashion Week wouldn't be complete without a men's show. This one by Parke and Ronen. GQ magazine says, “Whether you’re after the perfect pair of board shorts or a skimpy bikini, Parke & Ronen makes a swimsuit for pretty much every guy”. The designers are not just beach guy/air heads. The two designers contrasting backgrounds and training combine into a modern approach to style for the savvy customer. After receiving his bachelor’s degree from Amherst College, Parke Lutter came to New York to pursue a career as a fashion designer, where he enrolled in the Fashion Design program at the Parsons School of Design. After receiving his B.F.A. from Parsons in 1997, Parke joined forces with Ronen to open a new company and launch Parke & Ronen. Ronen Jehezkel arrived in New York City in 1989 after having attained his degree in Alta Moda (Italian Haute Couture) from the highly regarded Instituto Europeo Di Design in Rome, Italy. The partners backgrounds fuse the European traditions of haute couture and the American sensibilities of Seventh Avenue, resulting in an exceptional creative synergy. Hey....Isn't SnapGlow.TV a women's site? Yes, but it really is our responsibility to help all our viewers get a complete view of fashion. Ahem!

Now, she's excited to be the Host and Executive Producer of SnapGlow.TV on Philly.com, the only place dedicated to celebrating the glamour of real Philadelphia women.
