I think I do a pretty good job of covering the local music scene, but I have been lacking big time on the coverage of the rest of the arts and culture of this beautiful city. Consider this the beginning of my efforts to give you readers a more rounded guide to what’s happening in Phoenix. If there’s one event that you need to mark down on your calendar right now, it’s the return of the annual Grand Ave. fashion show. Last year the event took place at Paisley Town and I had a blast DJing the runway show for the girls over at Butter Toast Boutique. However, I hoped that they would get a bigger space and more designers involved this year. Well it seems luck is definitely on my side.

This year’s show features more boutiques and designers than last year, including some love for men’s fashion with the boys from Phoenicia Association. Not only will we have a lot more fashion to see, but we also get to experience it all in the beautiful and unique Bragg’s Pie Factory. This is one of the best mixed use venues in town and I’m sure that it will be sparkling and full of beautiful people on this evening. So, bring a date and look sharp, and come prepared to celebrate the unique and stylish boutiques and designers that are making the Phoenix DIY fashion scene so exciting to witness lately.
