***** Producers*****

Keiona Cook (Qe'Bella Couture) and the FWMN Team

Keiona is the founder of Lovely's Sewing & Arts Collective where she teaches young boys and girls ages 6-16 the art of sewing. They create, sell and are taught about financial literacy and money management and how to open saving accounts. This show is a fundraiser for LSAC.

One thing about kids is we inspire them and they aspire to be just like us. We are providing a platform for them to soar and Dream BIG!!!!

One of the 13 Fashion Designers is a high schooler. The youth from Lovely’s Sewing are ages 6-15 and will model outfits they made in the classes for the show as well.

** We will have another special performance by our very own Iyanna Pernell from LSAC.

***** VENUE *****

The Pillsbury A-Mill was once the largest working mill in the world, and our building was an integral part of its success. State of the art, modern equipment was produced and repaired within these walls. Reopened in 2016, this historic machinery shop has been carefully restored with the specific needs of a high-end private event space in mind, keeping the original 1916 architectural details intact, while introducing modern luxury in this industrial space for all types of events. Just as the Pillsbury machine shop was an important player in establishing Minneapolis, Historic Machine Shop is a cornerstone for the city of Minneapolis, as a host of extraordinary and glamorous events.
