Tickets: $10.00 contact 202-580-5972 or arts@archdc.org for tickets.
Flaunt, produced in association with Ten Miles Square and Project Beltway, will feature new fashion portrait work by photographers Joshua Yospyn, John Ulaszek, Meaghan Gay, and Steve Goldenberg. The work is the result of collaborations with local fashion designers Dana Greaves, Taimur Baig, Lara Akinsanya and Will Sharp, who will show off their talent as their clothes grace the runway. The upstairs portion of the gallery will be transformed into a pop-up boutique so that guests can take a piece of the runway home.
An artistic experiment of sorts, Flaunt aims to challenge and explore the notions of what constitutes fashion photography.
The opening exhibition and runway show promise an outstanding soundtrack further promoting local artists. The Honfleur Gallery is located at

Lara Akinsanya counts her upbringing in Nigeria, West Africa, as the main source of fabric inspiration for L~Shandi, her line of bold women’s wear that mixes traditional African fabrics with Western tailoring. L~Shandi is named after the Nigerian street-slang term "lepa shandi," a compliment paid to a woman wearing something that makes her look particularly attractive and sexy. Often cut with a retro flair, L~Shandi designs have been featured in Lucky magazine, Washington Post Express and Washington Life magazine, and are sold locally at U Street boutique Caramel. http://lshandi.com
