Happy holidays and a Fabulously Fashionable New Year!

As we approach the end of the year, we at Runway Couturier have been hard at work for months planning every aspect of our four quarterly fashion shows in 2013.  Our new friend, San Francisco City Supervisor Jane Kim (District 6), has been so very helpful connecting us with other inner-city change-makers, and news about a fantastic and super-huge event in May is on the horizon.  We're also planning a never-before-seen SPECTACULAR annual gala, benefiting a venerated and critically important San Francisco AIDS charity.  Our most recent fashion-design-contest winners are busy finishing their collections, which will debut all year long, even as we announce new winners.  Stay tuned for exciting details.  YOU CAN HELP transform San Francisco into the dominant, west-coast fashion-city THIS YEAR, whether you are a potential sponsor, fashion designer, event-production superstar, publicist, journalist, or just interested in being in the fashion industry in some way.  Student internships available.  Interested parties, please contact Executive Producer Fritz Lambandrake at 415.385.5055 or Fritz@RunwayCouturier.com.  Meanwhile, happy holidays and a fabulously fashionable 2013 to you and yours from all of us at Runway Couturier - Fashion-ONLY Event Production!

Five "RUNWAYS!" in Our 1st Year and Here Comes 2013!

“Runway  Couturier presents… RUNWAY!” is the plucky little fashion show that could.  We’re extremely proud to have produced five runway events in our very first year, and we’re busy planning all of our 2013 fashion shows now.  As I think back on how much we’ve grown during this challenging and incredibly rewarding first year, I literally pinch myself.   We’ve reached for the stars, not quite touched them, and then reached even higher with every event.

Along the way, we’ve shown the debut fashion collections and individual designs of nearly thirty rising fashion-design stars, all Bay Area residents.
