The Experience

The audience experience replicates that of international Fashion Weeks in the style capitals of the world, with dozens of distinctive garments passing within a few feet of admiring gazes in a breathtaking and intimate runway experience. Wonderful models, specialized music, and an energy only found in environments like this, will be enjoyed by all that attend.
