Fashionopolis has been a signature event of the local fall fashion season since 2013. In recent years our annual event evolved to include a party atmosphere in addition to our one-of-a-kind runway show welcoming more than 500 guests. This year Fashionopolis is leaning into the –opolis part of its name with an experience that goes beyond fashion and embraces even more of our local creative community—our stars of the North. This year we bring the event to the magnificent Minneapolis Institute of Arts during the opening month of its exclusive exhibition Paris Couture, on display through January 2027.

What to expect—

The Grand Salon begins at 6pm and includes a parade of fashion co-directed by Grant Whittaker and Jayne Haugen Olson. The 45-minute production celebrates and highlights emerging local designers, vintage fashion, fall looks from independent retailers, and local premier fashion designers. The Jade Corridor at Mia will be transformed into an intimate and immersive fashion runway with no more than two rows deep of seating limited to 300 guests. Upon arrival attendees will be treated to a premium welcome experience, the runway show, and the post-show Twilight Soiree experience.

The Twilight Soiree begins at 8:30pm. Upon arrival guests will be treated to a spectacular night at the museum party surrounded by fashion, music, cocktails, and light bites.

All guests will also have access to Paris Couture; Mia’s blockbuster fall exhibition during the event. (A $20 value.)
