Preview: Red Carpet Fashion Show on Spring Street on Thursday

No, you won't be hallucinating on Thursday night when you see sexy models strutting down a red carpet on Spring Street in West Roxbury. The ladies of Fairview Corner are holding a fashion mob sidewalk show.

Last year's Fashion Mob was a roaring success -- and Thursday's event from 6 to 9 p.m., with the show starting at 7 -- will surely top its predecessor.

"You can expect to see the hottest trends of the season strut the red carpet, from color and lace to the perfect sun dresses and havianas!" said Marika Gaurenszky, owner of Fabutique.

"The Fashion Mob is back and better than ever. Top It Off kicks off spring and summer with its fabulous color stories from head-to-toe," said Ashley Boiardi, retail manager for Top It Off. "The ever fashionable tunics can bring you from the beach with a sun hat, to a night at dinner with a pair of white jeans and fabulous statement necklace."

Baker Baker will be providing pies that are allegedly being walked down the carpet by District 6 City Councilor Matt O'Malley in a sequined-apron, according to Boiardi.  

While not commenting on O'Malley's runway skills, Baker Baker's owner Fran Kolenik stressed the charitable angle of the event.

"I’m thrilled that we have the opportunity to reach out to the community to raise money for the Pan Mass Challenge. There will be raffles from local donations with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Pan Mass Challenge," said Kolenik, adding all proceeds from . "Don’t forgot that the month of May is 'Pies for Pan Mass Challenge' at Baker Baker." 

Kolenik said that for every $25 pie sold on Thursday (May 16) all the proceeds are going to the Pan Mass Challenge.

"I couldn’t be more excited to turn the spotlight on Fairview Corner. You won’t want to miss the vintage twist we’re adding to the red carpet!" said Kalembar Dune and block landlord Shirley Walsh, who worked tirelessly through the last several years to bring lively businesses to the corner of Spring and Baker streets.

Elizabeth Hoenscheid, Top It Off Accessories' owner, who emceed the previous fashion show (while her toddler jumped spontaneously and cutely onto the red carpet), spoke about the influence of the shop owners at Fairview Corner.

"The Fashion Mob is another example of the creativity that is present with the women owned businesses at Fairview Corner," said Hoenscheid.

The show starts at 7 p.m. -- see you there!
