WARSAW — Main Street Warsaw is hosting the inaugural Downtown Fashion Weekend presented by Toyota of Warsaw, Oct. 3-5.
The event features women’s and men’s fashions from four downtown boutiques including Glam Boutique, Brooch Boutique, Finley and Co., and Male Fashions. The weekend has both free and ticketed events, starting with Friday night’s free Sip N Shop event featuring live mannequins and complimentary wine and cheese in the participating boutiques.
In addition, Toyota of Warsaw will have car displays to engage shoppers and art vendors and musicians will line downtown streets, according to a news release from Main Street Warsaw.
On Saturday, Oct. 4, fashion hits the spotlight in a ticketed event that begins with a red carpet and spotlight experience for arriving guests, followed by a runway show against a backdrop of interactive art and high-energy music all taking place at The Vic.
The runway show is followed by an after-party at Anthology featuring a cabaret performance by Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts and mixing with fashion models and fellow guests.
The weekend finishes on Sunday afternoon with private Champagne Shop at participating boutiques featuring in-store specials and more car displays from Toyota of Warsaw.
After the private shopping event, the boutiques will be open to the public.
“This is going to be a must-attend set of events. Saturday’s runway show will be amazing like a New York fashion show with red carpet and spotlights, models, high energy, live art,” said Michelle Hansen, owner of Glam Boutique.
“We wanted to highlight downtown’s fashion collective in a fun way and bring the community together and that is why we have both free and ticketed events. That would not be possible without the support of Toyota of Warsaw,” said Terry Sweeney, downtown development director for Main Street Warsaw.
“We are proud to support our local businesses, and this partnership is a perfect fit. We look forward to showcasing our own style – complete with Toyota flare and our latest models,” said Emily Illingworth Kosnik, general manager of Toyota of Warsaw.
Tickets for the runway show and private champagne went on sale on Wednesday. Visit mainstreetwarsaw.org for more information.
