Celebrate Fashion, 2013

I just received my September issue of Vogue in the mail yesterday, which to me signifies that Celebrate Fashion is right around the corner. Formerly known as FNO (Fashion's Night Out) in Cherry Creek North, it is the second year this fashion event is happening in the district. It is a night of community, celebrations, and of course, fashion. Celebrate Fashion involves fun events at various

stores throughout the district from 5-7pm and then a fashion show at Fillmore Plaza starting at 8pm. As SOL's Art Director, it is magic for me to see the vision I had for the looks of the fashion show transfer from paper to real life!

SOL will be kicking off the evening at 5pm with our super cute DJ, Helen who will be spinning classic songs from female artists of the past three decades. We will also be raffling off a $300 SOL Shopping Spree and providing delicious concoctions from Little Black Dress Vodka.

The fashion gates on Fillmore Plaza open at 7pm and should you choose to purchase a ticket (the in-store events are free, but the tickets for the Fashion Show start at $60), you will be hobnobbing with Denver's fashion elite and tasting some of the delicious food that the neighborhood has to offer. The ambiance is chic and the energy is alive as everyone awaits the first dimming of the lights that lets you know the show is about to begin. For more information on tickets, CLICK HERE.

The runway portion of the night starts at 8pm on Fillmore Plaza and if you missed it last year, I would highly suggest making sure you don't make the same mistake twice. I was extremely impressed with the level of production last year and I cannot wait to see what Cherry Creek North puts together for this years show! It still gives me chills when I think about the lights going down on Fillmore Plaza and the anticipation I had waiting for our first model to walk out. My favorite part of the night had to be when Cindy and Jeanie came up to me after the show saying that they felt like they were at  a fashion show in Paris. Success! CLICK HERE  to watch last year's show.

For this year's show, I was inspired by Pantone's 2013 fall fashion palette, Poison Ivy (think Uma Thurman in Batman) and Babylon. What does this look like you ask? Well, there is only one way to find out...come to the show! And a little added bonus, we are featuring a male model in our segment.

So grab your go-to fashion buds, get dolled up and make a night of it.

In the words of the almighty Heidi Klum, "See you on the runway"!
