Humans have a passion for fashion. We stay Elmer's glued to the t.v. and Internet just to see what the rich and famous are wearing. We compliment and criticize the photos in the fashion mags and don fabrics and outfits that speak how we feel at the moment. Even if the styles aren't within our budgets' reach or practical for every day wear, the latest fashion trends give us a sense of imagination, lifting us away from the ho hum of our daily grind. Designers, models, fashion writers, fashion editors, photographers of fashion, and all those in the industry know this. Their passion is to bring your imagination and theirs to reality. Having stated this, the designers have created a wide range of high fashion clothing, custom designs, and affordable ready-to-wear that will meet the needs and desires of many. You'll be sure to find something that's to die for! Last year's Tampa Bay Fashion Week was full of fun, glamor, and a peek into the next season's styles by local designers who originated from around the world but made their home in the area.
Fashion designers know that the human body is a living piece of art and the fashion designs enhance and upon choice, may exaggerate or subdue the form. We can be as expressive as we wish. What we wear and surround ourselves with create the lifestyle that we embrace. It give us a smile and can even change our entire demeanor. How often have you sat around the house in sloppy clothing or stepped outside of the apartment with your less-than-best outfit, only to feel downright "God awful"?
In just a few weeks from September 22-25, 2010, designers come together to show the intensity of their passion as their high fashion, custom fitted, or ready-to-wear designs are spotlighted on the runway by local models. The VIP Model Behavior Soiree in Clearwater, FL kicks off this fantastic week of fashion in the most upbeat way with special car demos even. Located at Audi Clearwater, mix and mingle with the designers, models, sponsors, and those who are into the fashion scene as you savor delicious hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
The night of September 23 will be filled with glitz and glamor as the celebration continues at Neiman Marcus in Tampa. Have a blast while contributing to a great cause – Pace Center for Girls, which provides the needs for girls ages 12 to 18 who are considered to be dependent, runaway, truant, delinquent, or in need of help with their academics.
September 24 is the big night when Tampa Bay puts her pretty stiletto foot forward to reveal what designers from Tampa Bay and surrounding areas have in store for your fabulous upcoming Spring/Summer 2011 season. Audi is proud to present this night of style, fun, gifts, drinks, and much more as well as the list of designers: Terri Funaro, Audrey “Pat” McGhee, Nina Verklas, Trineice Cagua, Kimberly Hendrix, Helen Gerro, and Essence Flowers.
