Showcasing fall clothing designs from Cristin Gallagher & Jessie English!
FIRST NIGHT:
New London’s Premiere Fashion Event
On Friday evening, August 29th, downtown New London will be treated to its first premiere fashion event. FIRST NIGHT will feature over thirty designs by local designers Jessie English and Cristin Gallagher and will be held in The Atrium, Harris Place at 165 State Street from 8 to 10pm.
This event, produced by the designers in association with 140 Below and Ninth House, is intended to showcase yet another facet of the art and creativity that pervades New London’s burgeoning scene. From it’s inception FIRST NIGHT was also intended to be an all-inclusive downtown event, one that would rally local business owners to be involved in creating and supporting an event for the mutual benefit of all involved.
FIRST NIGHT brings together the fashions of designer Jessie English’s Raw Culture line and Cristin Gallagher’s IMA line. Jessie, an artist and musician, has been designing for several years and has been waiting for the right moment to show her creations. In late fall, 2007, Jessie and long-time friend and fellow designer Cristin Gallagher began discussing plans to do a large collaborative show. Cristin had previously premiered her designs in October 2007 at a solo show at MUSE shoes/gallery in New London, CT, and followed that up a month later with a group show at AS 220 in Providence, Rhode Island. The idea that both designers partner up and collaborate was a decision both natural and instant. Pre-production for the show began early this year.
FIRST NIGHT is a free dress-to-impress evening that will begin at 5pm with a wine reception hosted by ArtImage Photography Studio, located at 170 State Street, in the Crocker House and across the street from The Atrium. Immediately after the show the designers will hold a meet-and-greet reception at MUSE shoes/gallery at 102 Golden Street, followed by an after party at the Backstage Pass located on the corner of Golden Street and Eugene O’Neill Drive.
Seating and standing room for the event is limited and is available on a first come, first serve basis. To reserve a seat please email requests to ima.rawculture@gmail.com.
For further information please call MUSE at 860.442.6873.
