Fashion has a schedule!
FashionSPARK’s regular meeting was held last night at……yes you guessed it Poole’s Diner! Isaac, Allison, Jessie, and I got caught up with one another on all the progress made in the last week. And there has been some definite progress.
As we’ve read here earlier in the week, both call’s for hair stylists and designers has gone out. Jessie has spearheaded the hunt for salons by contacting over a dozen different salons just in Raleigh! She will be expanding her search to Durham and Chapel Hill next.
Together we nailed down the overall timeline. Everyone’s blackberry calendar was in hot use as we planned out the remainder of our pre-event meetings and fundraisers! Here are the results:
June 15 – Call for designers, stylists, salons officially goes out.
June 16 – Call out to media, calendar listings, blogs
July 15 – Deadline for submissions from designers, stylists, and salons
July 24 – Meeting for all accepted designers at Design Box. 7pm
Aug 1 – Tentative date set for screening of fashionSPARK 2007 in Moore Square. Allison has park reserved for that date and is in the process of completing permit applications. Possible alternative would be to hold the screening in the parking lot behind design box and work in conjunction with Mosquito.
Sep 7 – Tentative date set for fashion brunch at Poole’s (final fundraiser + press push)
Sep 11- Designer window ‘unveiling’ One of fashionSPARK’s sponsorship packages includes the store hosting a window that features one of the fS designers.
Sep 14 – FashionSPARK rehearsal. 2pm
Sep 19 – FashionSPARK! 8pm
The next meeting is June 26. The remaining meetings will be held every other Thursday at 6:30pm at Poole’s Diner
See you there!
