CLEVELAND, OH –Imagine a Tsunami washing away the long lost city of Atlantis and just like an act of magic, citizens of Atlantis arrive at the shores of Cleveland at the Nautica, gorgeous women wearing long gowns in colors inspired by the ocean, the beauties of the sea life and antique surroundings in company of warriors dressed in silk, a breeze of the Caribbean sea running through Cleveland in a summery night. This was Anderson Couture’s owner and head fashion designer Jonathan Anderson’s vision when he started drafting his 2014 Spring Collection.
On Friday March 21st, 2014 this vision became a reality at the City of Cleveland’s City Hall Rotunda. This event not only was a vehicle to give back to a community that have seen him transform from a runaway teenager to an Award Winning Fashion Designer but also was the beginning of the great comeback of Fashion to Cleveland, Ohio.

Guest MC were Fox 8 Angelica Campos & Richard “Zoom” Scott.
The whole room lit up with a Caribbean atmosphere transporting everyone to an enchanted night at Atlantis, Folkloric dances by “Ritmo & Raza” Live performances by “Brittany Carbaugh”, R & B Singer “Tim Lowe” & Afro Caribbean Band “Ray & the Rice and Beans” followed by Celebrity & Spring Collection Runway in which also featured appearances by Miss Ohio Latina “Stephanie Miranda” & Miss Puerto Rico Image Neiza Rivera.
Jonathan Anderson closed the night by endorsing Esperanza Inc. and quoting “Educate a child and you will educate a family, that will educate a Generation, that will educate a Nation”, also, continued to give special thanks to those that made the night possible, Cuyahoga County’s Ward-14 Councilman Brian Cummins, Neon Health services, Jay Honda, Take5 Restaurant, 107.3FM The Wave, Project Model, Motives Cosmetics Lather Hair Salon and Esbi Hair Salon; while promising to be the first of many that the City of Cleveland will see.
