Diavontti has done it again with great style and class. As the 5th Annual all white affair was held at the Music City Center in the grand ballroom.
The grand ball room is just that…GRAND!

“I walked into the room and saw such grandeur,” said a visitor expecting to see the spectacular opening fashion show. From the door to the stage, that seemed a mile away, were several bars and nine VIP cabanas dawned with sheer white fabric and white leather sofas.

Prior to the All White Affair, the opening entertainment was that of a Diavontti fashion extravaganza.  Swimsuits, swim trunks, swim thongs, leather, lace, denim, soft and silky, open shirts…The models walked the runway “strutting their stuff” as they wore fashions designed by several stylists and the clothing sold at K&G Fashions.

Dwight Pope has many years of experience as a model and trainer.  As the founder of Diavontti, Pope has expanded his wealth of class and style to focus in three distinct areas.  Diavontti is a wedding and events coordinator that plans sophisticated special events for weddings and corporations.  “Blend your ideas with our experience and creativity to design an elegant day that reflects your personality and style,” says Diavontti.

Diavontti also adds years of experience to cheer leading as he hosts “Back to the Basics” camps designed to train groups and individuals in the fundamentals of cheerleading.  And, of course, the extensive experience as displayed in the aforementioned activity, Diavontti model management is a boutique agency that works with models and talent that allows the individuals to work as a group or expand their individual careers.  Diavontti has always given a fashion show during the Homecoming activities at Tennessee State University.  Thus the fashion shows have expanded and are being presented nationally.

Immediately following the Diavontti presentation of great fashions, 92Q DJ, Kenny Smoov broadcasted live from the grand ballroom.

Before the night ended, there were over 4,000 guests in attendance!
