GA/GI Updates from our Fashion Editor, The PGC ROcks with Mindblowing Glass and a "Keene" Mind

Janine Bonilla, GA/GI Fashion Editor is flying these days! She's putting the last touches on REINVENTION (5472 Penn) our signature annual fashion show at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, Friday, May 1 at 8 pm featuring some of Pittsburgh hottest designers and artists. For this GA/GI segment Bonilla has pulled no punches on the looks and lengths she's gone through to get eco fashion showcased. She's even GA/GI rebooted a few designers from Richard Parsakian's recent Eco Fashion show-- looks designed expressly for one showing--that will have a second chance for ooohs and ahhhs at GA/GI! Participating designers in our 2015 extravaganza include: Hemp Authority--promoting sustainable living through eco-friendly clothing and accessories, Pheonix boutique--who says "fashion is immortal" creating re-purposed fashion; renowned Pittsburgh fashionista and designer, Elaine Healy; a gold standard, fall-ward look from Rae Gold; The Paper Lady-- Kay Dement--whose looks put print on another level; high-end gear that turns heads will come from [DIG] Clothing; and "The Warped Weaver" LaVerne Kemp, does spring fashion like its never been done! Giving the show its unique sound and lighting is DJ, Bill Yadesky from Firebyte Audio.
