FashionSPARK

This past Friday evening I attended an auction benefitting fashionSPARK at the Raleigh Institute of Contemporary Art. fashionSPARK is a part of Sparkcon and the Visual Art Exchange. fashionSPARK is in its’ sixth year and is the largest annual fashion show in the Triangle. It was a great experience meeting many of the designers and speaking to them about their ideas and inspiration. There is so much artistic talent in the Triangle that people don't know about!

Last year it drew a crowd of over 1,500 spectators in downtown Raleigh's City Plaza. fashionSPARK 2011,"Wear What You Are" will feature thirteen up and coming fashion, accessory and green designers throughout the Triangle. The show evokes and celebrates the true nature and joy of individual expression though fashion. This year’s event is September 15-18 in downtown Raleigh. I hope everyone will join me in supporting this event, especially with all the creative talent that we have in our own backyard.
