Pull out your iphone and mark your calendar now for Friday, February 26^th for Project Runway alum Shirin Askari’s Fall 2010 Fashion Show to be held at South Side on Lamar.  While most of the cast from this season’s Project Runway chose NYC’s Fashion Week to host their debut presentation, Shirin decided to partner with The Fashionistas (we’re thrilled!) and house her first ever fashion show in downtown Dallas.  Askari, a Dallas native and recent graduate of the University of North Texas, auditioned for the sixth season of Project Runway after nixing plans to head to Europe due to knee complications.  With just three days until the application deadline, Askari entered the competition.  With a little luck and a lot of talent, she breezed through the interview process and was asked to join the show.  After surviving the majority of the way through the sixth season (and famously having her first reality show meltdown) Shirin was cut just three episodes away from the finale. She will now get her chance to showcase her signature designs (fresh twists on ladylike classics) very soon. We have so many exciting things planned for the event that you will definitely want to check our website weekly for the latest updates on who is in and who is (coming) out to the most reality chic fashion event of the season.  Sponsored by South Side on Lamar and benefitting THE FASHIONISTAS.  For more information, contact Bri Crum at bri.crum@thefashionistas.org
