Boston Fashion Week is almost here! The Emerging Trends 2010 event, hosted by The SYNERGY Events, will feature a runway show, a cocktail reception, and the chance to browse and buy from high-end vendors. “Emerging Trends is not only an incredible opportunity for designers to showcase their work to a community known for its innovation and creativity,” said Reaz Hoque, CEO of The SYNERGY Events, “but also for Boston fashion enthusiasts to gain firsthand exposure to fashion from around the world.”
This year’s designers hail from all over, from the Virgin Islands to Florida to, of course, Boston. And if you thought the fashion will be enough eye candy, think again! The event’s host is beauty queen Lacey Wilson, Miss Massachusetts 2010.

Scaasi: American Couturier
This exhibition celebrates the designer Arnold Scaasi and the MFA’s recent acquisition of his archive and more than 100 of his designs. Arnold Scaasi, who began his business in New York in the mid-1950s was one of the few New York designers to concentrate on custom-made clothing rather than ready-to-wear. He has designed for the 20th century’s most celebrated artists and most fashionable socialites, including Broadway, TV, and movie stars, such as Arlene Francis, Mitzi Gaynor, Barbra Streisand, Diahann Carroll, Mary Tyler Moore, and Elizabeth Taylor; Palm Beach and New York socialites including Mary Sanford, Ivana Trump, Joetta Norban, Gayfryd Steinberg, and Edna Morris; and First Ladies Mamie Eisenhower and Barbara and Laura Bush. His work has always been synonymous with luxurious materials, exuberant color, and refined silhouettes.
