Fashion Meets Music Festival returns Sept. 3-4

by

Fashion Meets Music Festival is back in 2016 with a line-up organizers describe as immensely talented.

To the uninitiated, FMMF is one of the few festivals worldwide to celebrate the inarguable connection between music’s influence on fashion and vice versa. For that reason, it was listed last summer as one of Mashable’s top 14 world festivals not to miss before you die.

This year’s designers include Project Runway’s season 11 winner Michelle Lesniak, as well as some of our local fashion superstars, such as Bryston Walters, Lydia Hopman, Cierra Lauren and Maya Eigel. Their designs can be seen on FMMF Model Mentor Michaela Neu, shot by renowned local photographer Will Shively, in FMMF Magazine, hot off the presses.

Musical acts this year represent a wide variety of genres. Performers include:

  • Twenty-four-year-old psychedelic pop superstar Børns;
  • DJ Khaled, known for such hits as “I’m on One” (featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne) and “I’m So Hood” (featuring T-Pain, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross and Plies); 
  • Indie rock ensemble Passion Pit, which has hit U.S. rock and dance charts with songs including “Take a Walk,” “Sleepyhead” and “Carried Away;”
  • Pop singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha, who has recently been selling out shows touring with Ellie Goulding;
  • Punk-influenced dance-rock group New Politics, whose songs include “Harlem” and “Tonight You’re Perfect;”
  • Mary Lambert, well-known for her featured vocals on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love;” and
  • Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who, who has opened for Katy Perry and Kylie Minogue.

Each of these performers has shown the ability to command an audience globally, which makes us fortunate to have them here this Labor Day weekend.
