CocoWalk the Runway

Hot fashion in a pedestrian paradise.

By Raina McLeod

Published on May 01, 2008

TV shows such as What Not to Wear rag on your personal style, but we say embrace your individuality. If you like wearing muumuus with high-top Reeboks or entire outfits made of different shades of denim, damn it — do it! And at On the Catwalk, see how the other half does it, while checking out the parade of sexy dresses, swank separates, and posh accessories scheduled to cross the center courtyard at CocoWalk.

From 7 to 9 p.m., you can see fashions from stores such as Edward Beiner, KoKo & Palenki, and Azul Boutique — and expect to be dazzled by the sheer fabulosity of it all. It’s free to learn how to get fierce, but $25 will turn you into a VIP, earning preferred seating, complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres, and entrance to the afterparty down the street at Nikki Coconut Grove. Besides gaining some insight into what’s hot and what’s not, your bucks will benefit Kristi House, a center for child victims of sexual abuse, so call 305-444-0777 or visit www.cocowalk.net for tickets.
