Here’s the scoop:
I am going to be showing a small selection of my late summer/fall looks from A Rare Bird (ararebirddesigns.com)in a collaborative fashion show and event on September 13th at Say It Loud. The other designer showing runway looks is Keiko from Postlapsaria.com, who is just amazing!
We are going feature the fashion show, but also have selected vendors, artists and designers show their work in the space as well. There will be food and drinks, as well as a fun “photobooth” for people to use. We will also be displaying several new looks from DALAT by Flower Ta, as well as photography from Libia Tse , crafts and goodies from Miriam Ruckert and Jen Mak, and more surprises in store! Possible performances from The Future of Films in Space and the Center for Contemporary Dance! We are also planning a big Men’s & Women’s Vintage Clothing Swap- everyone can bring cute vintage they no longer wear and everyone can swap!
Look for our interview about our show in the Orlando Sentinel the 4th or the 11th!
