Thanks for highlighting this. I am planning on going considering that I am here in MPLS. Also working on getting some jewelry into a local boutique shop that supports indie designers for fashion week :: Cliche http://www.clichempls.com/
Another really cool MPLS fashion event is called fashion fight night hosted by metro magazine, I did a blog post on it here…
