While some of the events (such as the showcasing of jeweler Omaskas at the Harvard Club on Saturday night, entrance fee = $60) might be out of the average college student's budget range, those whose bank accounts are still feeling the effects of a Spring Break-related splurge can partake in the wonder that is Spring Fashion Weekend. The majority of the events are, in fact, free. Makeup artist David Nicholas hosts an open house and high tea to introduce his spring/summer 2001 cosmetic line on Saturday, and Culture in the Courtyard (an open air group fashion show) takes place in the Boston Public Library’s courtyard on Saturday, featuring the styles of Alfred Fiandaca, Denise Hajjar and Ted Saluto.
With the help of Boston’s Fashion Week and Spring Fashion Weekend, the fashion scene in Boston will continue to grow. If Fred Fairbass had just taken the time to examine the intricacies of the Boston fashion scene, he might not have much such an egregious error as to omit Beantown from “I’m Too Sexy.” Maybe he didn’t name Boston because he couldn’t think of another city to rhyme with it. Or maybe, just maybe, Boston’s too sexy for Right Said Fred.
