Inspired by his love of cold treats and LEGO, 11-year-old designer Aniki Allen created Ice Cream Bow Ties, a line of handcrafted bow ties for kids. This event highlights the diversity of Twin Cities youth through a runway show featuring the brand paired with fun and edgy kids’ fashions. Additional info, location and tickets to be announced. To get involved, contact contact@icecreambowties.com

Ice Cream Bow Ties will be apart of Fashion Week Minnesota-Spring edition | Saturday, May 4th @ 1pm |

.

Aniki Allen, Founder of Ice Cream Bow Ties will be featuring his newest collection, adding unique cold neck wear pieces from Ice Cream Bow Ties.

One of our core values is PHILANTHROPHY. 

It is important that we must represent our community fashionably- with that we have to create and give others the opportunity to excel. Not only will this event represent diversity but focus on children; a group that is underrepresented in the local fashion industry. 

.

We are looking for children ages 6+ to rock the runway! 

No experience necessary. Non-paid gig.

Please save the casting date: Sunday, March 10, 2019 at 1pm

#FWMN

.

Fashion Week Minnesota is a bi-annual event of runway shows, presentations, panels, and shopping events used to highlight the current collections of Minnesota-based designers, brands, and retailers. The event is organized by Fashion Week MN, a volunteer-run, community-oriented, not-for-profit organization that organizes two fashion weeks each year—a spring edition in April, and a fall edition in September. Annually, FWMN is attended by more than 2,500 attendees during more than 15 events in 7 days. 

The Pan African Conference is committed to developing and enhancing the leadership skills in our collegiate Black young adults, as well as provide opportunities for academic scholars, professionals, and community members to discuss issues that affect descendants of Africa on a local, national and international level.

Our 2019 conference will imagine new possibilities for economic justice, emancipatory education, and political solidarity. Inspired by the imaginary city featured in the film Black Panther, we will consider pan Africanism as a political project for healing, sustaining, and loving ourselves. We invite secondary, post-secondary, and community leaders to join us for this year's conference as we proclaim "We are Wakanda!" to celebrate our diversity!

For more information, please contact Kenneth Reid (Kenneth.Reid@mnsu.edu), Director of African American Affairs.
