Philadelphia Fashion Week 2010: From Rittenhouse Square to Old Kensington

Philadelphia Fashion Week 2010Later this week, FBH Entertainment will present Philadelphia Fashion Week, with a neighborhood-spanning three day event that brings in designers from all over. Many are from the Philadelphia area. Designers include:

MonAri 1962
Ying Edge
Melani Von Alexandria
Ray Vincente
Nevets Couture

On Thursday, Banana Republic in Rittenhouse Square will host the Black Tie and Awards Ceremony, an invitation-only affair. Friday's ready-to-wear runway show will lead you to the Crane Arts Building in Old Kensington, a massive space that is a blank canvas for any event.  Imagine what they can do with it for this show. Saturday's Couture finale will happen here, too.

We suggest raiding Third Street Habit in Old City for something slinky and then having a glass of red at Bar Ferdinand in Northern Liberties before you head over to the 7 P.M. spectacle. Then you get to catch the fashion show that is a weekend night on Liberties Walk.

More Valentine’s Specials in the City of Love

Valentine's Day in Liberties Walk and the Piazza is just heating up. Keeping in mind all of the Romancing the Walk specials that we wrote about last week, now we have some new additions to the menu.

At Bar Ferdinand, check out the "Dia de Valentino" $30 prix fixe brunch or the $65 & $75 prix fixe dinner menu. The offerings are posted on their website.

Darling's Diner will be selling heart-shaped cheesecakes in personal or full sizes. Try the Belgian Chocolate Mousse variety if you really want to woo somebody. They'll also host a Lovers Brunch and Lovers Dinner.

What happens when over 100 Philadelphia artists decide to celebrate Valentine's Day? The Group Heart Show at Jinxed/Toothless Cat Gallery in the Piazza on February 13. If you're the card-buying type, there's no shame in choosing one here, because there will be custom Valentines from each artist. Check out the list at Jinxed Philadelphia.

And if you're looking for something even less common, the Louella Press folks at Pressed 55 present the Letterpress Voodoo Kit. Pick one up now at Pressed 55 in the Piazza, 1050 N. Hancock Street.
