Friend’s Fashion Show and Formal Luncheon

In anticipation of the upcoming exhibition, Botticelli and Renaissance Florence: Masterworks from the Uffizi, there is much to celebrate as this year’s exciting fundraiser coincides with the Friends’ 100th centennial supporting Mia. We are looking forward to a fun and fabulous in-person afternoon, celebrating vibrant fall fashion as Minnesotans begin to bundle up and cheer the holiday season in style.

Ticketing for this event is now closed. If you have questions, please call the Friends of the Institute at 612.870.3045.

Join us for a pre-show Bellini and pastry upstairs in the Thomas Barlow Walker Gallery before the models hit the runway. The fashion show starts promptly at 11 a.m. A post-show celebration sponsored by Artful Living follows the show in the Regis Fountain Court and Marvin and Betty Borman Gallery. Immediately following, guests will be ushered to the Reception Hall for a seated Italian inspired gluten-free lunch (vegetarian option by request).

Valet will be available at the Third Avenue entrance.

Generously sponsored by the Galleria Edina, Artful Living, and Bachman’s, the Friends’ Fashion Show once again will be produced by Grant Whittaker, internationally renowned stylist and fashion personality.
