The 11th Annual Fusion+Fashion show took place on Friday, November 4 at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis. Local designers created garments out of non-traditional materials to compete with more than 30 entries, evaluated on wearability, use of sustainable products, model presence, innovation and craftsmanship.
This action-packed show proudly benefits People Serving People, whose mission is to serv
e homeless children and their families and provide new opportunities for healthy, stable family life. In addition to a portion of the event proceeds being donated to People Serving People, 100% of the proceeds raised from mask sales and the silent auction will be donated to People Serving People.
Attendance this year totaled nearly 600 guests, who gathered to watch not only the fashion show but the performance art of Xelias Aerial Arts Studio and move to the musical stylings of DJ Bob.
