ModCloth.com's 1st Fashion Show


This is hands down the fashion event of the summer.

Local fashionista, “Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest” honoree Gretchen Harnick partners with ultrahip ModCloth to resurrect the fashion salon. A fashion salon is a place for women to visit a particular designer’s showroom, preview each season’s collection, and place personal orders. The fashion salon is not a place for sexy models strutting to liquid-dance music down a darkened runway, but rather an intimate gathering perfectly staged at The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.

The 1950’s Finest Fashion Salon, a play on the title “50 Finest”, is the first time local e-tailer ModCloth will be showing its clothing in a local fashion show. This successful business venture sells strictly online, and the owners are proud to partner with Gretchen for this charity fashion salon benefitting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. ModCloth will be donating 10% of online sales from their website, July 24th, toward the cystic fibrosis foundation as well. Entering CURE10 at the checkout will register you as a supporter of the cause.

Fashion students from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh participate in a styling contest to have their look selected and worn at the fashion salon. Be sure to visit the www.modclothcom website to vote on two final looks, and help choose which will be worn in the show. “This opportunity gives students a real life experience in becoming a stylist, or working for an online clothing retailer. It’s a great way for ModCloth to see the talents of our hard working fashion students” says Harnick.
