What an amazing night in our beloved Minneapolis! Every year, Mpls.St.Paul's Fashionopolis show celebrates local talent, retail, design, and fashion. This year, we also welcomed the addition of the fabulous Four Seasons Minneapolis as our venue for the event.
Our show was inspired by the decades of the past—but also the possibilities of the future as we take stock of the importance of small businesses, sustainability, creativity, connection to our community, self-expression, acceptance, and our collective ability to work together and thrive together. —Jayne Haugen Olson, Editor-in Chief
