If you're reading this before 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 17, there's still time! Elisa Jimenez is selling one-of-a-kind apparel and spontaneous on-the-body couture at Minx.
Jimenez, who appeared on season four of Project Runway, has now been to Asheville twice: In 2009 as a fashion mentor at Hatch Fest and this weekend, for last night's PUSH Asheville Fashion event.

Today, until 3 p.m., Jimenez holds a trunk show of pieces from her line, The Hunger World, at Minx. She will also design on the body for those interested. Dresses are surprisingly affordable — Jimenez says it's her way of stimulating the economy.

haha.. The crazy one. Brooks designs seems to mimic the Jimenez style. I don't see what the fuss is about. It mostly looks like stretchy fabric that is close to the body and draped. Any first year fashion design student could manage it.
