Fashion For A Cause: To Benefit Project Healthy Smile
Let's Kick Off MN Fashion Week Together!

High-Impact Runway Show, Private Shopping Experience, Interactive Photo Booth, Mini-Makeovers, Free False Eyelash Application, 
Wine, Hors d'oeuvres & much more... 

WHO:
Project Healthy Smile, Kokoon, Local Motion, Primp, Vanessa Zahid and Artist Built will host a fabulous afternoon of shopping, pampering and fashion for a wonderful cause. 

WHAT:
Fashion for a cause. Styles For Smiles will feature a high energy Runway Show showcasing colorful couture by Kokoon, Local Motion, & Primp, an exclusive private shopping experience at a pop up boutique, mini-makeovers & free false eyelash applications that guests can wear out on the town that night, an interactive photo booth, wine, hors d'ouvres and music by DJ Fatty - all for FREE. 

Much more fun that shopping at a mall, guests can view fresh looks on lovely models and purchase them right then and there, in the Maki Strunc Studio modern pop up boutique. And most importantly, guests will shop for a great cause: A portion of the proceeds from the clothing and jewelry sales will directly benefit Project Healthy Smile, to bring oral health education and dental supplies to impoverished and underprivileged children globally.

HMStyling will be styling the event. Mini-makeovers and eyelash applications by Brett Dorrian Artistry Studios.

There will also be a raffle and donation booth to raise money for Project Healthy Smile.

- Avoid the Grey

Saturday February 4th 2012

7:00pm until 11:30pm
79 13th Avenue NE 

Tickets pre-sold at Cliche $10.00

For more than seven years, Cliche boutique in the Uptown neighborhood in Minneapolis has produced runway shows featuring the ready-to-wear collections of the most talented local designers. This year, expect something different as runwaydevolves to voyeurism. For Avoid the Grey, Cliche allows guests to gaze clandestinely into the private thoughts and inspiration of ten local designers. Each designer has concealed the inspiration for their 2012 collection within a chamber. Peer through these chambers and see what has never been shared before...the birth of a collection. No binoculars required, just a pair of prying eyes.

7:00-8:30PM
Christine Carmichael with Larissa Loden
