Preview: Cliche's "Crosswalk" fashion show

Local boutique Cliché is hosting its semi-annual "Crosswalk" fashion show tonight, and as usual, it will highlight three of its local designers: Jenny Carle, Rachel Blomgren and Sarah M. Holm.

Long time Cliché favorite Jenny Carle will be showing three red monochromatic, one-of-a-kind fall looks at the show:

Rachel Blomgren, a newcomer to Cliché after making her debut at Voltage this past April, will be showing a fall collection of hand dyed waffle knit, plaid wool, and bleach dyed knits inspired by, as she puts it, "Nineties grunge (a la Courtney Love) and Minnesota lumberjack with a little witch magic thrown in."

Sarah M. Holm will be showing brightly-colored, sculptural looks:
