Sidewalk as Catwalk

Tonight Dive Bar and Mark’s have joined forces with KBar Productions, Chateau Vintage Hand Picked Clothing, and The First Wednesday Art Walk to present a Summer Collection runway fashion show. Part of the sidewalk in between the two venues will serve as a catwalk. 

“We had never heard of a catwalk that began in one venue and ended in another. We thought that the two venues each had unique appeal, and that the sidewalk element really embodies the spirit of the Art Walk making art accessible to the public.” said Karen Barnes, event producer/promoter, owner of KBar Productions and former Art Walk Director.

For tonights show, Chateau Vintage will feature hand picked clothing from the 1940’s through the 1990’s, reimagined, and styled for contemporary wear. Chateau Vintage also styles for fashion shoots, film and television sets, print and online media and various other occasions. Kayleigh Hair and Meredith Geiger, co-owners of Chateau Vintage spent a year in Orlando building their Etsy store, showing at local events, and selling clothes at various stores throughout the city. They relocated to Jacksonville, Florida three months ago with ambitions of doing the same for the Jacksonville market.

“We are ready to take Jacksonville by storm. Our summer ’10 collection is fun, flirty and elegant. I am ecstatic to show the world who we are and what we do!” said Kayleigh. Meredith said “We are thrilled to feature our summer collection at this event. It is the perfect way for us to make our debut in the Jacksonville market”.
