Designers include: Naomi B, Logan Neitzel, Dolores Gill, Blayne Walsh, Wai-Ching, and international designer Tony Galang.

If you don't know who Blayne Walsh is -- he was the tanorexic on Project Runway Season 5. He is from Yakima, but went to the Art Institute of Seattle for fashion design. I saw him at the Britney Spears concert in Tacoma this weekend. You couldn't miss him in his neon wardrobe staples. My friends were urging me to go get a picture with him. I kept saying, "I don't know... I don't wanna be one of those people..." He was in line for the Honey Bucket for goodness sake!! I plan on attending his show during fashion week and possibly scoring an interview for my blog. I don't want him to think I'm the creepy chick that needed a Myspace pic with him in front of a porta-potty! Needless to say, I woosed out when a gang of teenage girls pushed me out of the way. All for the better though. Darrah's Dresser will have a non-porta-potty reputation with the sudo celebs of Seattle.

Check out the shows this weekend, and maybe I will see you there! For more information about the designers, sponsors, and ticket prices visit the Seattle Fashion Week website.

I don't think they are 21+, but there are bars where it is.
