The awards were held at the stunning new Public Media Commons at Grand Center. Bloggers and their guests enjoyed cocktails sponsored by Pinnacle Vodka, Skinnygirl Wines, Peroni Italian Lager, and Redd’s Apple Ale and small bites by Michele C Catering, while taking in a presentation by Grace Kubilius, Craft Alliance’s current Fiber Artist in Residence. After the honors were awarded, party-goers were treated to video presentations by Grain celebrating St. Louis Design Week, and by the Nine Network, illustrating how all six screens in the commons can be used to create an immersive multimedia experience. ALIVE Magazine Publisher and Saint Louis Fashion Week Executive Producer Elizabeth Tucker officially kicked off STLFW 2014 with a video showing highlights of last fall’s season. We can’t wait for the show(s) to begin!
