Event This Year’s Mercury Fashion Show: The Lineup

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Mar 10 at 9:30 AM

I’m pretty psyched about the designers showing in our fashion show this year, and about the show in general; we’re putting more into the production this time around, giving people more bang for their buck, with music by Tu Fawning and Beyonda, plus a few other secrets up our sleeve. But the main attraction are the 12 designers whose work will be showcased, handpicked by a jury that included Adam Arnold, Holly Stalder, Kate Towers, Leanne Marshall, and Julia Barbee. Check these guys’ web sites out for a mini preview, and for those without sites, you’ll just have to be surprised:

• Makool (Anisa Makhoul)
• Elizabeth Rohloff
• Dust (Julia Blackburn)
• Rachel Mara
• Paper Treasure (Jess McCloskey)
• Ruth (Ruth Waddy):

• Rio Wrenn
• Erhart (Chelsea Erhart)
• Amai Unmei (Allison Covington)
• Elizabeth Spencer:

• In Love & Memory (Janeane McSpadden):

• Freyja (Gretchen Jones & Melody Geer
