Fashion Week
May 2
– 10 FWC events include fashion shows, parties, films, lectures and
exhibits
Fashion means change, and Fashion Week Cleveland is
changing.
For 2008, Fashion Week Cleveland unveils its new tagline,
“Because Everyone Wants Fashion,” a statement underscoring fashion
is relevant to everyone, and that FWC’s programming and mission will
support this vision. In
addition to FWC’s established opening party and three major fashion
shows, a schedule of films, lectures, exhibits, and programs will expand and
broaden FWC’s appeal.
FWC’s runs from May 2 through May
10. The schedule begins with
FWC’s immensely popular, public kick-off GLAM PARTY on Friday, May 2 at 8 pm at La Dolce Vita.
DJs IMPURE and GO will host, and admission is free. For 2008, the GLAM PARTY theme is “Think Italy! Think Fellini!” and FWC urges
attendees to “dress the part,” bring their cell phones and
“play paparazzi.”
Photos taken there – and throughout FWC -- will be uploaded to a
special online photo gallery.
The GLAM
PARTY is followed by FWC’s high energy wearable art show
at Sammy’s in the Flats on Saturday,
May 3. UNCLOTHED:
A Mixed-Media Runway Event is a ticketed event and a designated
“CoolCleveland.com Party” featuring a complimentary FWC signature
martini and haute couture hors d’oeuvres. Combined with Sammy’s spectacular
view of the Flats, UNCLOTHED is sure to be a
sellout.
On Sunday, FWC goes from land to lake with CELEBRITY STYLE CLEVELAND, another ticketed event on board The Nautica Queen. Embarking at 5:30 pm and
returning at 9 pm, FWC guests will enjoy a special lakefront cruise while local
celebrities and models present a boutique show spotlighting local retail
collections.
FWC culminates in its final runway show, the
black-tie Cleveland
Fashion Show. This
gala will feature as its special guest Miss
America 2008, Kirsten Haglund (an opera and music student at the
Cincinnati Conservatory), as well as a number of up-and-coming American and
regional designers, including Tad Boetcher
(a Kent State University graduate who created Bill by Bill Blass and his own
successful New York-based line called “tad b”).
Throughout Fashion Week Cleveland, lectures, films and exhibits
will be scheduled in partnership with various institutions in
