Passion Fashion Week 2009




We are proud to be a sponsor for the upcoming Passion Fashion Week!
Social Mixer
August 6, 2009 at Central Piedmont Community College Harris Center



Passion Fashion is a Houte Couture event that showcases national fashion designers as well as local designers. It’s main focus to create an experience where individuals can come and have a pleasurable encounter, while enjoying the unique fashions that are presented on the catwalk. Passion Fashion 09”, produced by Visionary Minds, is serving to gradually integrate the nation’s second largest financial center into a new business, the fashion industry.

This monumental annual event kicks off in Charlotte, NC on August 6, 2009. Project Runway’s 2008 “Finalist and Fan Favorite” Korto Momolu will be the feature fashion designer. Korto Momolu, a native of Liberia, West Africa, is heavily influenced by her African roots and expertly infuses tribal details into her eclectic designs. Inspired by the rich fabrics and textures that have become her signature, Korto asserts that her designs are intended for “real and sophisticated” women of all shapes and sizes. This style veteran stands out easily from the rest and has captured the attention of many VIP’s in the fashion industry. According to her fans, who already view her as a remarkable designer, Korto Momolu is more than ready to establish herself as a fashion icon and industry staple. Ms. Momolu will be showcasing her fall 2009 collection at this special affair and a sneak peek of what’s to come for 2010.

Joining Ms. Momolu at this year’s signature event is Cate Lyon and Charlotte’s own Tara Davis. Cate Lyon of Cate Lyon Studio specializes in haute couture, special occasion gowns and ready to wear. Tara Davis of Flow By Tara Davis has several fashion forward collections. FLOW Signature, Flowistic, FLOW Chic, and FLOW Design. All four divisions have a unique flair to them and are a perfect fit for any woman who exudes confidence and class. The FLOW by Tara Davis collection continues to stay on top of current fashion trends, fabrics, and silhouettes, providing dresses that continue to flow, move and bounce.

Need to Relax Try these low or no cost breaks!




You need a break by but just can’t get away, try one (or more) of these to help you relax:

Day at the park Charlotte’s has great parks and gardens that are open to the public. Pack a picnic lunch and plan to spend the day exploring nature.


Movie night — Pop some popcorn, rent a few of your favorite movies, turn out the lights, and have your own movie marathon night right at home. Laugh, cry, and cheer for some of the best actors of all times. Be sure to turn off the phone and stay away from twitter, email, Face book and browsing the web. For one evening, don’t give a thought to your work or business.


Be a local tourist — often we don’t visit the “attractions” located near to our homes. You can save a fortune in transportation costs and hotel bills by playing the tourist in here in Charlotte. Grab a list of local tourist attractions . Be sure to bring your camera for those all-important tourist snapshots!



Volunteer your services — while this might not seem like a mini-vacation at first glance, volunteering can actually help you to relax and feel better about yourself. To find a place to volunteer, phone your favorite charity and ask how you can help. Also, many larger cities have volunteer networks that can match your specific skills with a need

Time Saving Tip




Time saving tip!


Start a "last minute gift" box. When you are shopping and see great deals, pick them up and put them away. It could be a board game, some candles a unisex tshirt, a good book, if it's a too good to pass up deal then get it and stash it away. You will wish you had started doing this sooner when you see how much you utilize the box.

If you need help! Dont wait we can help!

The fireworks are being staged from the Central Piedmont Community College campus. Some streets around the campus will close at 8:00pm to accommodate the fallout zone, so expect traffic in that area to be heavy. Streets will reopen immediately following the show.
