Everything Goes

Calling all designers, makers, artists, stylists, fashionistas, tattooers, dandies, body painters, costumers, and retailers: next Thursday, Easthampton turns all of its fashion dials up to a fabulous 11. The first-ever STRUT is an all-inclusive, volunteer-organized, body-positive runway show with live commentary, 15 awards, livestream, red carpet, cameos, goods from local breweries and wineries, high-flying emcee entertainment by Seth Glier, and a wicked fun afterparty with DJ LeFox.  It’s a deep dive into couture, for sure, but anyone is welcome to register to walk their own designs down the runway, where professional photographers can snap shots and the audience can react to local designers’ creative impulses in real time. 

STRUT Inclusive Fashion Spectacle: Thursday, Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets available on a sliding scale beginning at $15 (general) or $8 (students). The Ballroom at Eastworks, 116 Pleasant St., Easthampton. strut.live.
