Fade to Light: A Multidimensional Fashion Event

Now that winter is on the way out and the New Year's workout regimens are taking effect (right?), time for new wardrobe ideas. Fresh collections from designers like Adelheid Bergin, Altar HouseLine, Primal Haunt, Stefanie Saysm Rogue Minx, and the graduating students from Portland Sewing's Fashion Forward Program will show what to wear in 2015. Well, at least for the spring of 2015; the styles will change before summer. 8 pm. The Crystal Ballroom. $10 - $40.
