2016 'SHATTERED : Repose' Schedule

 

This years event will consist of (2) full runway shows and support events. Each show will have a distinct theme that is part of an overall story that will play out over two days. The first will be Saturday Night, April 16th at 7:30. The theme will be 'SHATTERED' and will feature nation VJ V Owen Bush of Glowing Pictures who will be providing visual interludes between designers along with the a vibrant musical program curated by show Music Director, Nate da Great. The set will be focused on creating more of a hard edged look that will morph into a more organic set for the following day. The second show 'Repose' will be on Sunday Afternoon, April 17th at 3:00. It will be a matinee show and will feature an organic, hanging gardens of Babylon theme. Each show will provide an opportunity for retail sales at our POP UP! Shop. This year will also feature support events that are in Saratoga. A fashion photography exhibition and a fabric art gallery installation are in the works for the several weeks preceeding the show.

Designers will be curated for either the Saturday or Sunday show at the discretion of the ECC Curatorial team.
