MNfashion Weekend

The week’s big event is MNfashion Weekend, starting Wednesday (well, sort of) and lasting through Sunday. I made a guest appearance in yesterday’s Strib to talk about the lineup, and to recommend some of the happenings. But, of course, there has been at least one update since I wrote the piece: I’ve since learned that the only invite-only event at MNfashion Weekend, an Eclecticoiffeur launch party and runway show, will star my two favorite local designers: Katherine Gerdes and George Moskal (lust!). If you didn’t already know, Eclecticoiffeur (I always spell it wrong … ) is a hair-makeup-fashion styling consortium. And, as these bookings indicate, the group has impeccable taste. In fact, one of their stylists, Jahna, has been featured on this blog at least twice. (She’s quite the classy lady … ) If you weren’t lucky enough to procure an invitation, you can always check out the after-party. But know that this is the wave of the future, folks. If ever anyone is going to take MNfashion Weekend seriously, then we’ve got to drop the Minnesota Nice and inject the thing with an air of clubbishness.
