Before the fashion show starts, enjoy the complimentary activities while you strut around, including Glamour Shots with Viking Sister Photography, Glitter Freckle Station with Initmi, and Live
Temporary Tattoo Drawings with AI Allegedly Tattoo. Then we dim the lights and dial up the disco — because nothing says 'intimate evening' like sweating glitter ’til sunrise. Snacks and nibbles provided throughout the evening. Cash bar featuring signature Intimi drinks created by Gypsy."
