Breakfast with Oscar - and local designers

Tuesday the 25th, I'll be styling a press preview event for the Aegis Foundation's annual red carpet Official Academy Awards party. Sponsored by MNfashion and l'etoile magazine, the press-only event will be a morning breakfast happening during the live, on-air announcements of the 2011 Academy Award nominees.

Locally-made, red carpet-worthy designs from Emma Berg, Christopher Straub, Jenny Carle and Carmichael Claith will be donned by live models from Arquette, with jewelry by local designer Bionic Unicorn and menswear from Elsworth and Tatters.

Just announced: SCENEaSOTA 2010 designers

Designers for the 2010 SCENEaSOTA have been announced by show producer Maritza Ramirez, and it includes a mix of designers at varying levels of experience.

Emilee Kuznar is a 2010 graduate from St. Kate's and Jenn Bratvold will be a senior there this year (see my review of that show for l'etoile magazine for more on them), while Britta Feuerhelm is an '09 St. Kate's grad. Kathryn V. made her debut at SCENEaSOTA last year, and Jenny Carle and Christine Carmichael (also a two-time Voltage designer) also return. Voltage 2010 designers Kevin Kramp (a seriously accomplished knitwear designer) and Raul Osorio also will show.

The show is still looking for accessories designers. (Ruby3 by Anna Lee is the one designer already confirmed.) Contact maritzampls@gmail.com if interested.

SCENEaSOTA 2010 will be held November 6, location TBD.
