Indie designers, including both clothing, jewelry, and other accessories, are finding alternative ways to promote themselves these days. We see it a lot on the web. Another approach is their own fashion shows, and if you are in the Seattle, Washington area tomorrow, you can see one for yourself at Velouria.

Here's the when/what/where from Velouria puts spring fashion on the runway:

Ballard boutique Velouria will host the show with models sashaying down the runway in all this fair-weather garb on Thursday, April 19, at 8 p.m. at the Crocodile Cafe.

Velouria owner Tes de Luna's fashion philosophy focuses on independent designers who create and produce their own pieces. No mass-manufactured stuff from overseas here. Many of the featured clothing, handbag, and jewelry designers and labels are from the Northwest including Liza Rietz, Holly Stalder, ZUZUPOP (de Luna's label), Frocky Jack Morgan, Kimmi, Jenny Yule, Amy Tavern, RikaRika and House of Spy. More than 30 designers will be featured in three fashion sets. Listen to local bands ghost stories and Siberian between the sets.

Advance tickets are $10 at Velouria or Sonic Boom Records locations. Tickets will also be available at the door for $15.
