A few photos from the show:

This years' Avoid the Grey show was more of a gallery-type event, rather than the traditional runway show that Cliche presents each year.  Local designers showed their avant-gard style inpsiration for their current collections.  The models were enclosed in large white boxes, only viewable through peep-holes.  Each box decorated on the interior to reflect each designers aesthetic, complete with projections, chandeliers, smoke, etc.

Save the Date

For more than seven years, Cliché boutique in the Uptown neighborhood in Minneapolis has produced runway shows featuring the ready-to-wear collections of the most talented local designers. This year, expect something different as runway devolves to voyeurism. For Avoid the Grey, Cliché allows guests to gaze clandestinely into the private thoughts and inspiration of ten local designers. Each designer has concealed the inspiration for their 2012 collection within a chamber. Peer through these chambers and see what has never been shared before...the birth of a collection. No binoculars required, just a pair of prying eyes.   

Featuring clothing and accessories by Amanda Christine, Ariel Simone, Carmichael Claith, Chrysopoeia, Cocoquette, Danielle Everine, Gina Marie Vintage, Kathryn V., Kjurek Couture, KR Designs, Larissa Loden, Needle & Black, Rachel Blomgren, Realia by Jen, Sarah M. Holm and Sweet T.
