SF Int'l Fashion Week Cancelled?

We're disappointed to report that SF International Fashion Week shows have been cancelled for today and tomorrow--only a small selection of shows will be held on Sunday.

Upon arrival at Terra Gallery, the new venue after the shows were moved from Fort Mason, we discovered that all Friday and Saturday shows had been cancelled. A man was handing out flyers with the updated event schedule for Sunday, with little explanation for what happened. We did, however, hear though the grapevine that the planning for the event was last minute--the model selection for Saturday's shows, for instance, was scheduled for today. Hearsay, but we wanted to pass along as much info as we could get.

On Sunday, six fashion shows are scheduled, with an afterparty sponsored by Haamonii Smooth, Blavod Black Vodka, Player's Xtreme, Rock Star Energy Drink, Selona Beauty, Factio Magazine, BlackBook Magazine, and TheAList.org.

We hope that we get to see the results of the designers' hard work...
