I spent my Saturday sipping cocktails and mingling with some of St. Louis’ finest before taking a front-row seat on the stage of The Fabulous Fox Theatre to watch some of Project Runway‘s top designers showcase their latest looks.
Somebody pinch me.
But it’s the truth: As part of Saint Louis Fashion Week, us fashion-obsessed St. Louisans were invited to the Fox Theatre to admire/adore/gawk at the wearable art by popular past-Project Runway designers. Even before sitting, there were fashions to enjoy, as the newly-created Scarlett Collection was on display on the main stairwell. In a theater this grand, why wouldn’t there be lounging models propped perfectly against the banister?
While I’d love to slow down your computer by posting a photo of every look at the show, I thought I’d save your sanity a bit and only post my favorites.
