Fashion Benefit for the Baryshnikov Arts Center

Noted Hawai”˜i designer Anne Namba will premiere a new collection inspired by Mikhail Baryshnikov that celebrates both dance and fashion. A benefit for BAC, the runway show will feature Namba’s fashions worn by New York-based modern, ballet, and flamenco dancers, who will improvise on the runway. The event will also include a sake tasting by Joy of Sake, a Japanese buffet by Haru complete with sushi chefs, and a music performance by Jason Poole. Jewelry designer Anna Meng, owner of The Meng Dynasty in Honolulu, Hawai”˜i, has created a line of fashion jewelry to complement Namba’s new looks. An award-winning designer, Namba is known for her distinctive Asian-inspired silk prints and fashions created from vintage kimonos and obi she collects throughout Asia.
