Fashion shows have become very popular in downtown Raleigh over the past two years. Sparkcon has hosted two and White Collar Crime has hosted their fare share as well. This time it’s Vintage 21, a new culture vulture in the Warehouse District, who will host the latest fashion show. It is entitled Runway Wars and starts Friday night at 9pm. Various local salons and designers (one of which we recently profiled) will be competing for the grand prize. Some of the event seems to come off a bit kitschy and the sponsors are almost all energy and alcohol based drinks, but it should be a good evening of stylin’ and profilin’. The Warehouse district and definitely downtown Raleigh needs more of this to prove to Richard Florida that we are more than just a “creative” statistic. No sleep ‘til?
Only the strong survive. nine designers. nine salons.one runway. We have hand picked these chosen few which are all unique. Each designer will be given the opportunity to display their greatest works while battling their competition on the runway. Each designer will be paired with Raleigh’s top salons and will create walking art with 5 models.
