Recap: Breakfast with Oscar

This morning, I styled an Oscar preview for the Aegis Foundation (hosted at Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen) in anticipation of Aegis' officially-sanctioned Oscar red carpet premiere in March. After the nominations and fashion presentation, we dined on delicious dim sum, served to us personally by Pham himself.

Barb Teed of Twin Cities Daily Planet was there to recap the event and took some pictures:

Attendees enjoyed an Oscar-worthy couture fashion show by local designers Christopher Straub, Emma Berg, Jenny Carle, and Carmichael Claith. The menswear came from the Minneapolis store Elsworth Menswear. Models walked to Rat Pack music and wore clothes in the theme of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Handmade jewelry was worn by designer Bionic Unicorn of Minneapolis. Vita.mn and l'etoile magazine stylist Jahna Peloquin created the fashion show look. All the hair was fashioned by Jennifer Gullickson from The Hair-e-tic salon in Minneapolis. Click here to read more.

Breakfast with Oscar - and local designers

Tuesday the 25th, I'll be styling a press preview event for the Aegis Foundation's annual red carpet Official Academy Awards party. Sponsored by MNfashion and l'etoile magazine, the press-only event will be a morning breakfast happening during the live, on-air announcements of the 2011 Academy Award nominees.
