The show, presented by the Art Directors Club Denver with proceeds benefiting Downtown Aurora Visual Arts, is unlike any other fashion event in the country, even if it follows a familiar format. Its very similar to a traditional fashion show in that we have runway models and theyre going to be showing off their designs dresses, costumes, bikinis, even suits for male models, Reilly explains. Its very untraditional in that only 10 percent of the designs are not paper.
Sixty teams (up from 42 last year), including many made up of students, have entered the seventh annual Paper Fashion Show; theyre competing for prizes and paper trophies. For the audience, there will be appetizers, a full cash bar, a silent auction for the de-signs and the show itself. Social hour starts at 6 p.m. tonight, with the show at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 1144 Broadway. For more information, or to buy tickets, go to www.paperfashionshow.com.
