It’s that time of year again; I can feel it in the air. Fashion Week 2010 is here.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Park Avenue vendors will unveil their finest trends for the forthcoming fall and winter seasons. The catwalk will be constructed, the whimsical white-tents will once again rise, and the trendiest and chic will congregate on the Ave for a week of trunk shows, evening events, fun, friends and fashion. Who knew that behind the beautiful historic brick roads, small-town appeal and Saturday Farmer’s Market, there is an emerging fashion metropolis.
Since 2007, the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and Park Avenue Area Association have created a unique, fashion-forward event for Winter Park and the community. Harriet’s Park Avenue Fashion Week is held annually in the fall to model the mod fashions from boutiques of Park Avenue and Hannibal Square. Some of the classic Rollins’ favorites will be in attendance, such as Thread, Tuni, Downeast Orvis, Lilly Pulitzer, Coralia Leets, SEE and even a newly established and fabulous four-month old addition, the Violet Clover. Experience Saturday’s [October 23rd] fashionable grand finale by sitting center stage at the runway show hosted in downtown Winter Park's West Meadow. The styles and sounds of the show all take place under a brilliantly-lit tent designed by New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's venue designer.
With a sensational schedule jam-packed with trunk shows and events, one might find it over-whelming as to which vendor or event they should experience first. Fortunately we are going to give you an insider exclusive on the fashion fabulous events you can experience at Thread, October 17th-23rd.
Thread will be kicking off Harriett’s Park Avenue Fashion Week 2010 on the right foot. On Sunday, October 17th at noon, Thread will be hosting Heels-for-Hearts, a Heel-A-Thon, in the Rose Garden of Central Park. Heels-for-Hearts entails a circular course around which women in heels will complete laps for sponsorship dollars, of which will be donated to The American Heart Association; the official charity of Park Avenue Fashion Week. Following the event there will be an after-party at Thread around 1:00 p.m., located at 356 Park Avenue South, complete with refreshments, raffles, trunk show shopping and special offers for all participants. To make a difference and join this fabulous cause, e-mail the Thread ladies at threadparkavenue@yahoo.com.
