Sustainable – Carter Fleniken
Carter Fleniken will make their debut runway performance on Wednesday, November 14.
Fleniken’s voice sounds like something out of time, a relic from the days of smoke-filled coffeehouses where art and revolution intertwined. Yet, their music is decidedly modern. It’s wistful and pining as it washes through those who hear it, allowing them to see through decades and make some sort of sense of the turbulent beauty that’s so vibrantly alive in this modern era. Their’s is the kind of music that endures and sustains through time which makes Fleniken the perfect representative for the Sustainable stage.

Society – Black Madonna
On Thursday, Nov. 16, Society will showcase Couture/high-end fashion and a Black Madonna performance.
Spring Page also known as Black Madonna is something of an enigma. Her music effortlessly moves between hip hop, R&B and pop and she dowses the whole thing in vibrant color that makes her art feel totally alive. She will be making her musical debut on Thursday, November 16 during DFW’s Society.
Page is an upcoming singer who writes lyrics based on personal experiences. Her energy on stage combined with her personalized lyrics go hand in hand with the Coutre-esque evening. Growing up, Page auditioned for America’s Got Talent and The X Factor.
