OUTscene: (PRE-view) Fashion, at 240 mph. Brace Yourself for This Saturday!

The 4th Annual Forbidden Fashion Show kicks off this year with a James Bond themed event titled “Live Another Night” on Saturday, May 21st at the Seattle Art Museum. From sexy lingerie via France, UK and Italy to bikinis from local swimwear designers, this show goes undercover exposing designs not normally featured on a runway. The show will also feature men’s underwear and swimwear from well known designers such as Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Diesel as well as international favorites Australian AussieBum and French Les Garcons.


Producer and director Eduardo Khawam has planned many surprise elements to this year’s must see event. “We like to give our audiences a little peek at what is fashionable underneath for both men and women”, said Khawam. “It’s sexy, beautiful and a little bit titillating – that’s why I call it forbidden fashion.”

Khawam has designed the runway as a roadway inspired from an Aston Martin racing scene from the movie Casino Royale. Set in the Brotman Forum inside SAM, the runway is situated beneath a display of suspended cars by artist Cai Guo-Qiang

Two shows are scheduled: 7:30pm and 9:30 pm with a pre-reception for Aston Martin Tickets Holders, participants and an after party at the Four Seasons Hotel across from Seattle Art Museum. Tickets are on sale now for $55, $75 and $135 at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/.

Proceeds from the event go to Today’s Hope, a local charity supporting families with autism.
