With the collaboration of our Live and Diverse Music Entertainment, VIP Lounge Space, Runway Model Shows, Upscale Vending, Wine Gardens, and After Party Inclusions… patrons of "Fashion in the Street" will be able to shop at numerous boutiques at one time in an outdoor setting, relax and mingle in lounges and preferred seating, share drinks socially and enjoy original music and the best fashion-entertainment our city has to offer.
Overall, "Fashion In The Streets" is providing a platform for the general public to enjoy a weekend of entertainment and fashion without needing their name on a posh “Guest List”. With this event, we will break down barriers while providing our great city with a one-of-a-kind experience.
