DALLAS, Texas – October 31, 2006 – With champagne flowing and DJs spinning the latest sounds, NorthPark Center’s signature event—Fashion at The Park—offers the public an exclusive experience usually reserved for celebrities and fashion-insiders — an unprecedented opportunity to view the newest fashion and hottest trends on the runway first.  Fashion At The Park will feature five exciting runway shows daily March 8–10, 2007 and October 24-27, 2007.  

A public fashion event of this magnitude further establishes NorthPark Center as the fashion epicenter of the Southwest,” said Nancy A. Nasher, President, NorthPark Development Company.” Fashion At The Park brings the energy of the international fashion scene from New York City, Milan, and Paris to Dallas and showcases our incredible collection of exclusive luxury and trendsetting retailers.”

For three days in the spring and four days in the fall, a 15,000-square-foot tented event complex will transform the motor court between Nordstrom and Macy’s. The luxury tents will feature a full-scale 180 foot H-shaped runway surrounded by reserved seating.   The central hub of the complex will be a 324 square-foot bar and DJ booth surrounded by fashion and accessory displays, plasma screens showing runway footage, interactive sponsor booths and lounge seating.

“We expect Fashion At The Park to be a major event for Dallas, attracting tourists from throughout the Southwest, as well as internationally,” said Phillip Jones, President and CEO of the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau.
