Fashion Week MN

Not my usual tech/venture post 😊 I'm tickled to be walking the runway in the @fashionweekMN "Creative Renaissance" event happening this Sat 10/12 at Minneapolis Institute of Art! I'll be sporting a look from locally owned boutique Statement Boutique located in the North Loop in Minneapolis (Molly is amazing and highly recommend this place full of treasures!). Here are some fun shots from the talented @honeybear_the collection Sheldon Powell. More outfits to come this weekend. 😎 Fashion Week MN is an organization that celebrates, connects, and inspires the local fashion community. This event, with community at its core, will champion representation and equity, cultivating a diverse and welcoming evening to celebrate the vibrant local fashion scene. Excited to be walking amongst a lot of community impact leaders working hard to make Minnesota a special place to live. Tickets available at https://lnkd.in/gnc4g-um Thank you Sarah Edwards Annie Clark Carolyn Jensen Haus of Sonder for including me and for highlighting our work at Bread and Butter Ventures! #fashionweekMN #mnfashion #fashion #mnevents

Had an incredible night last night supporting Jean Ketcham at this years Fashion Week MN runway show where Jean was selected as a luminary! My first fashion week experience and it was a blast. The Minneapolis Institute of Art was a gorgeous venue to host. What a night! Thanks to Sarah Edwards for featuring Jean!

What an incredible experience making my modeling debut at Fashion Week Minnesota’s marquee event, Creative Renaissance this past weekend at Mia! This event was unlike any traditional runway show, as it brought together community luminaries from all walks of life—each of us working to shape culture and creativity in Minnesota. I’m truly honored to have been recognized alongside such talented individuals—celebrity chefs, TV personalities, nonprofit leaders, authors, film producers, unsung heroes, VC funders, and so many others. We all had the chance to showcase local designers and highlight the brilliance of our Minnesota community. Stepping away from the campaign trail for the evening was a welcome change, and it felt amazing to both celebrate and be celebrated. I’ve always had certain notions about fashion (even though I love putting together a sharp outfit), but this event was a real eye-opener. Who knows, I might just dive deeper into these new interests… once the election is over, of course 😇 A huge shoutout to my fellow luminaries—you’re all incredible, and I can’t wait to support you on your journeys. And a special thank you to Haus of Sonder and Fashion Week Minnesota for the privilege of being part of such an unforgettable night!
