MINNEAPOLIS, Minn (February 12, 2010) - Ignite Models Inc, V2 Nightlife, Futuretime Productions and City Pages, are pleased to present ENVISION: Artopia Spring 2010, a whimsical evening where Live Art, Fashion, Music and Hairstyling will blossom into the can’t-miss-event for the spring fashion season. Debuting just days before MN Spring Fashion Week begins - ENVISION: Artopia Spring 2010 will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010 in the ballroom of the Graves 601 hotel with 100 percent of the silent auction proceeds benefitting The Young Survival Coalition, a breast cancer research fund.
Bright designer palettes will bring splashes of sunshine to the runway this season, and more than 1200 of the Twin Cities’ most fashionable will be dressed to impress as they watch Ignite models float down the catwalk in the freshest new looks for spring. During two exhilarating high-fashion runway shows, models will showcase collections from several Twin Cities based designers and boutiques including: Amanda Christine, Arwyn Birch, Bumbershute, Cliché, Drama, Jenny Carle, Elsworth Menswear, Kjurek Couture, Local Motion, OPM Boutique, Peloria, Sarah M. Holm, Rose White, Russell Bourrienne and V-State. Rocco Altobelli will provide hair and make up for the models. Alice Sydow with Ivegotyourstyle.com as lead stylist and Ken Hannigan (Anthem Heart) will provide the music styling for the evening with a mix of house, rock & electro for the runway shows, with a live performance by house music sensation Dajae, coming in from Chicago just for the occasion.
ENVISION: Artopia Spring 2010 will also feature an Interactive Hair show featuring stylists from Rocco Altobelli. They will collaborate with the 8 local designers, in an environment where the stylists will actually work live in front of the audience. Each Envision designer will produce an iconic item that embodies their spring line, and they will be paired up with one of the stylists, whose responsibility will be to complete the look. They will draw inspiration from the designs and show the crowd their ability to truly embody the clothing through the hair.
VIP guests will enjoy a sampling of fine wines and small bites from local Twin Cities restaurants from 8:00 - 9:00 pm. At 9:00 pm doors will open for general admission and the Interactive Hair show will begin. The runway show will be in two parts – the first at 10:00 pm and the second at 11:00 p.m. Throughout the entire evening there will also be various live art elements taking place for guests to enjoy.
The event will end at 12:00 am, and then guests are invited to the Official After-Party at The Lounge Nightclub (within walking distance [411 2nd Ave N, Minneapolis]) where DJ Ken Hannigan (Anthem Heart) and Dajae will keep the party going until 2:00 am. A hand stamp from ENVISION: Artopia Spring 2010 will ensure free entrance into the hottest after-party in town at the swankiest warehouse district venue - The Lounge.
A glamorous panel of fashionista Celebrity Judges including Metro’s Style Editor Mary O’Regan and Freelance Stylist/Fashion Writer Jahna Peloquin will pick their favorite spring collections from the show, and the winning designers will receive a free photo shoot to highlight their upcoming line compliments of Ignite Models.
