ParProjects presents

Symphonic Stylings: Fashion, Art & Music at the Electric Warehouse

Saturday, June 23rd, VIP Guest entry @ 7PM,
General Admission @ 8PM, fashion show begins @9PM

The Electric Warehouse, 1645 Blue Rock, Northside 45223
(within the Bertke Electric Buildings).

VIP Admission $75, gains you exclusive early entry where you’ll be greeted by the parProjects team and introduced to the new space over a complimentary beverage, along with a selection of dinner by the bite, prepared by Northside’s own Take the Cake.
General Admission $50, gains you a venue entry time of 8pm and complimentary dessert.

On June 23rd, parProjects, the group that brought last October’s Factory Square Fine Arts Festival to Cincinnati, will be hosting one of its most important collaborations to date, Symphonic Stylings. In conjunction with ARTAYA (Washington, DC), The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, “concert:nova”, NVISION (Northside), and Sloane Boutique (Over-the-Rhine), the group will be inviting the Greater Cincinnati Metro Area to join them for a night of fine art, fashion, music, libations and fundraising.

More specifically, this night will highlight some of the area’s most cutting edge designers and boutiques in a runway fashion show, set to a contemporary collection of sounds orchestrated by a musical collaboration between “concert:nova” and The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra — lead be Ixi Chen (of CSO).

In addition to the fashion show components, parProjects is also proud to present a fine art exhibition led by Billy Colbert (Washington, DC), Susan Byrnes (Dayton, OH) and Rob Walport (Cincinnati, OH). This, a show involving work of various media, will complement the fashion components with both video-installation, large-scale sculpture and interactive media, revolving around various subjects such as women’s strength.

The event will also give the area it’s first look at a debuting space in Northside named (by parProjects) the Electric Warehouse. With raw walls, 16′ high ceilings and the help of local lighting/set-designers, the 10,000 square foot space is only being limited by the imagination of the parProjects team.

At this special event, NVISION will be presenting a collection of women’s vintage formalwear, sophisticated dresses, lingerie, and suits that pay tribute to the high-end designers of the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, yet are styled for the modern woman. This collection has been formed from various area estates & private sources, and features pieces that have been selected for their particular attention to craft, construction, exquisite detail, and overall elegance. This collection will comprise the finale of the runway show.
