[NEohioPAL] Fashion Week Cleveland May 2 - May 10

[James Harris]

 Fashion Week ClevelanD UNVEILS SCHEDULE
May 2 – 10 FWC events include fashion shows, parties, films, lectures and
exhibits
 
 
Fashion means change, and Fashion Week Cleveland is changing.
 
For 2008, Fashion Week Cleveland unveils its new tagline, “Because Everyone
Wants Fashion,” a statement underscoring fashion is relevant to everyone,
and that FWC’s programming and mission will support this vision.    In
addition to FWC’s established opening party and three major fashion shows, a
schedule of films, lectures, exhibits, and programs will expand and broaden
FWC’s appeal.  
 
FWC’s runs from May 2 through May 10.  The schedule begins with FWC’s
immensely popular, public kick-off GLAM PARTY on Friday, May 2 at 8 pm at La
Dolce Vita.  DJs IMPURE and GO will host, and admission is free.  For 2008,
the GLAM PARTY theme is “Think Italy!  Think Fellini!” and FWC urges
attendees to “dress the part,” bring their cell phones and “play paparazzi.”
Photos taken there – and throughout FWC -- will be uploaded to a special
online photo gallery. 
 
The GLAM PARTY is followed by FWC’s high energy wearable art show at Sammy’s
in the Flats on Saturday, May 3.  UNCLOTHED: A Mixed-Media Runway Event is a
ticketed event and a designated “CoolCleveland.com Party” featuring a
complimentary FWC signature martini and haute couture hors d’oeuvres.
Combined with Sammy’s spectacular view of the Flats, UNCLOTHED is sure to be
a sellout.
 
On Sunday, FWC goes from land to lake with CELEBRITY STYLE CLEVELAND,
another ticketed event on board The Nautica Queen.  Embarking at 5:30 pm and
returning at 9 pm, FWC guests will enjoy a special lakefront cruise while
local celebrities and models present a boutique show spotlighting local
retail collections.   
 
FWC culminates in its final runway show, the black-tie Cleveland Fashion
Show.  This gala will feature as its special guest Miss America 2008,
Kirsten Haglund (an opera and music student at the Cincinnati Conservatory),
as well as a number of up-and-coming American and regional designers,
including Tad Boetcher (a Kent State University graduate who created Bill by
Bill Blass and his own successful New York-based line called “tad b”).
 
Throughout Fashion Week Cleveland, lectures, films and exhibits will be
scheduled in partnership with various institutions in University Circle, in
Downtown Cleveland, and at the KSU Museum. These new programs are being
developed daily: to see the latest schedule, go to HYPERLINK
