About 5 years ago, I was wondering around downtown KCMO, before it became the Power and Light District. It was a weekend and, being the curious pedestrian that I was, I walked up and down the hilly city blocks. I looked into shop windows, some closed and some open, peered at industrial facilities-turned-living spaces and wondered, "Where are all the people?" Then I stumbled onto 18th Street and, lo and behold! There was fashion. It was the annual 18th Street Fashion show, and that year the theme was "Chocolate Summer". So many pieces in rich creams and satin browns; some even broadened the theme to include other candied colors. I was still very new to the city, and finding this show put me at ease. "Okay," I thought, "there is something going on here."
In the years since then, I've fogotten about the show or missed it from being out of town. Not this year. This year the 18th Street Fashion Show celebrates it's 10th anniversary, and my homie is one of the sponsors, so best believe I'll be there. This year's theme is "A Decadent Summer". Don't mind if I do.
**and i LOVE that the show is at dusk. how deliciously eerie.
