Saturday offers a champagne-and-truffles brunch at Picky Girl on Grand
Avenue, as well as Russell Bourrienne's studio opening. The menswear
designer creates for those gentlemen who "like to be a little different from the
rest of the pack." When night begins to fall, dress to the nines and take
advantage of the perfect opportunity to kick up your well-shod heels with
Eclecticoiffeur, a collection of hair, makeup and fashion stylists, and their
Cotillion. It's 21-plus and is one of the few Fashion Weekend events to charge
admission ($10), but it's guaranteed you'll have a phenomenal time dancing,
drinking and judging a Best Dressed contest as Minneapolis' most chic strut
their stuff.
Closing the weekend is Rectangle Designs' trunk show, titled "Local Flora,
Fashion and Food." Designer Sarah Nassif employs the beauty of Midwestern
flora to inspire her designs, and while you browse, you're invited to sample
local cuisine.
Did we mention this is for a good cause? A percentage of Rectangle's sales go
to the Land Stewardship Project, giving you all the more reason to feel great
about that new T-shirt.
So check out those trunk shows, drop in on those boutiques, and don't forget
that credit card! Who knows, maybe the next Yves Saint Laurent or John
Galliano is lurking right under our noses. And wouldn't you love those
bragging rights?
