Midwest Fashion Week celebrated 5 years of inclusive fashion and community support, so it was time to celebrate! Since Berny Martin made the bold move to start MFW in October 2007 the organization has come a long way. Peeople joined MFW for a look back, a look ahead, and to pay tribute to our supporters, community partners, and sponsors. We also featured a gallery of artwork from local home fashion artists. A portion of the proceeds from this event were committed to benefit the SOHO organization.
Empowerment Revealed on October 20th, 2011 Photos!
You met Sandy Hogan in our last newsletter, she was the star of a powerful and moving fashion show. After six months of personal training boot camp, image consulting, life coaching, facial treatments, and air-brush tanning, the ImageCube Naturally You Makeover winner, Sandy Hogan was revealed. This occasion highlighted the importance recharging and finding "me" time in our busy lives. Guests enjoyed offerings from an array of vendors to re-energize and indulge the senses, along with great gift bags. A fashion show including designs from local boutiques, designers, and tenants of the Fashion Mall at Keystone took place and a portion of the proceeds were committed to benefit the I.W.I.N. Foundation of Indiana and their breast cancer programs.
Taste of Fashion at Sensu on October 21st, 2011 Photos!
If you were there you know how exciting it was. Sensu is Indy's most exciting new place to see, and be seen. At Sensu we featured an Asian-fusion prix fixe MFW menu that was sure to ignite the senses of every attendee. The fashion show amplified the creativity of the designers while capturing the energy and brilliance of an atmosphere only Sensu could offer. The fashion show the fun continued with sleek cocktails, fine wines, and exquisite sakes; guests mingled in the dining area overlooking the dance floor, or sauntered down to the nightclub to officially arrive at the party. A portion of proceeds from this event were committed to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Fashion is Empowerment on October 22nd, 2011 Photos!
"Fashion is Empowerment" referred to MFW's core value of utilizing fashion to highlight different philanthropic interests. Each year MFW empowers artists, stylists, and fashion designers to grow their career while also positively impacting the Indiana economy and the economies of many surrounding states. In Spring 2011, MFW helped Down Syndrome Indiana raise more than $70,000 and featured the works of more than 20 designers! The grand finale was a show for Fall 2011 that benefitted the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, including an exclusive VIP party featuring DJ Gabby Love and specialty cocktails from Smirnoff Vodka. The runway came alive with fashion featuring the Spring/Summer 2012 collections of six designers representing Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and South Africa. After the show, light up the night with a dance-powered after party at the Murat Theater as rival DJ's go head to head to get you moving the sounds of the latest beats.
