Envision Artopia, Wants vs. Needs: Slideshows from the weekend

Stacey Schwartz photographs work by Christopher Straub

​Friday night was all about fashion at the Graves 601 hotel. Fashionistas mingled before models hit the runway in the latest designs from Amanda Christine, Calpurnia Peach, Cliché, Drama, Karma, Kjurek Couture, Local Motion, Tendercuts, and others. Rocco Altobelli's crew worked with hair and makeup while Ivegotyourstyle.com's Alice Sydow made sure the fashion shined as the evening's wardrobe stylist.

Runway looks were judged by a local celebrity panel featuring Project Runway's Christopher Straub (who was also debuted his spring 2011 collection) and City Pages own Jen Boyles. In the end Jenny Carle and Cliché took home top honors, winning them a free photo shoot. You can check out the runway looks at the Envision Artopia: The looks for fall 2010  slideshow. You can also see what Chris Straub has been up to at this slideshow.

As to be expected, the crowd was highly fashionable. Check out their looks at the Envision Artopia Fall 2010 Photobooth: Part 1 and Part 2 slideshows.
