Not every city in the Midwest has a local fashion scene vibrant enough to sustain a week of runway shows, parties, and open houses, but each year MNfashion manages to pull off the impressive Minneapolis-St. Paul Fashion Week. This year's festival of fashion included the Minneapolis launch of the Red Dress Collection, a runway show dedicated to emerging designers at CO Exhibitions, and SnowGRADE, a pop-up market for stylish gents. For the second year in a row MNfashion curated the Show, a party featuring work from designers at the top of their game, including Emma Berg, Amanda Christine, and KJurek. Sure, some Minnesotans love their outlet malls, but plenty of folks appreciate forward-thinking sartorial choices as well.
