February 13, 2008

Rachel Pally, Black Halo and Yana K, designers whose frocks can often be seen on celebs like Drew Barrymore, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lopez and the runways of L.A. Fashion Week, are just three of the top designers formally announced to come to St. Louis to launch their Fall 2008 Collections during BORBA Skin Balance Water and Budweiser Select's Spring 2008 Saint Louis Fashion Week.

BORBA Skin Balance Water, a delicious enhanced water that helps promote healthy skin from within, and Budweiser Select, a premium American-style light lager, are two Anheuser-Busch products that are enjoyed by stylish, contemporary adults, and a perfect fit for an event celebrating fashion, luxury and trendsetting.

The exciting news was broken early this morning at City Hall by St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay alongside spokespersons from major Saint Louis Fashion Week corporate sponsors and partners, including Anheuser-Busch, ALIVE Magazine, Washington University, Lumiere Place Casino and Hotels, Macy's, Lori Coulter Swimwear, Centro Models, West Model Management, Mother Model Management, NEXT Models and Solique Models. The runway shows will occur over six days at the new Lumiere Place Casino & Hotels.

"Saint Louis Fashion Week has become an amazing community partnership between some of St. Louis' most prominent corporations, cultural institutions and visionary leaders," said Attilio D'Agostino, Executive Producer of Saint Louis Fashion Week and Editor-in-Chief of ALIVE Magazine.

"It's a remarkable collaboration of over 40 St. Louis-based businesses from boutiques, modeling agencies and creative firms to restaurants and nightlife hotspots coming together to create a destination for the world's top designers to touch their Midwest fans and customers, and a showcase for the best up-and-coming designers to launch their careers."
