Fashion Week in Saint Louis!!!!

Right now is a fashionista's dream in Saint Louis. This week is
Fashion Week beginning Monday, March 24 through Sunday, March 30.
Saint Louis Fashion Week made its debut last year, and is expected to
be even more spectacular for 2008. There are several more "home
grown" designers this year, as well as some majors that have made
their way to the midwest to share the latest fashions from both
coasts.

Fashion Week will kick off with Project:Design! at the
Contemporary Art Museum on Washington. It will feature exhibits by
top local up- and- coming designers such as Lesley Timpe, the designer
of Squasht by Les, and Suzanne Lay. This will be a great opportunity
to purchase some one of a kind pieces and network with some of the
local talent.
To check out the full list of designers and events for
this week go to www.stlfashionweek.com .

This week will be a showcase of fashion shows and after parties at Saint Louis' ultra
sheik clubs to include the new Lumiere Place Casino and Hotel.
There has already been a number of events in the last couple of weeks
leading up to Fashion Week. Kimora Lee Simmons made an appearance at
Macy's and hosted a women's luncheon.

Neiman Marcus hosted an event that I attended with some friends, where D&G had a fashion show with a live band performance by The Last Almanac to open up for them.

It's nice to see that Saint Louis is on the scene for fashion. There may
even be the chance to see some celebrity sitings this week, since we
all know fashion and celebrities walk hand in hand. We may not be New
York, but Saint Louis definitely has style and will soon be one of the
cities looked at as a trend setter! This I can guarantee!
