Passion for Fashion!

I have a love-affair with fashion. I have memories of outfits far back to the age of four. I recall my Grandma telling me, "you won't always care so much about how you look". I was mortified at her prediction, but can safely say the romance still lives on.
I am also a big supporter for all-things local in the Twin Cities. So to combine these two passions, is something I need to share. I hope you and your friends can support one or several of the glam events below during MNFashion Weekend, MNfashion.org:

The time is near for MNfashion's Fall Fashion Weekend; five days of
fashion shows, fashionable parties, and fashionable people. Come out
and show your support for Minnesota's fashion industry and see some of
our most talented fashion designers show their fall lines.

MNfashion's Fall Fashion Weekend runs from Wednesday September 19th to
Sunday September 23rd.

Check MNfashion.org for a complete list of events and happenings.
Contact info@mnfashion.org with questions.

Our Mission:
MNfashion is dedicated to providing resources and professional
development, allowing designers to establish a sustainable livelihood
in Minnesota. In doing this, we foster community and encourage
industry growth.
