Fashion Week is still ON, but it is being postponed due to a venue correction as our original venue was overrun by loose vurbok and, ah, will require some time to be rebuilt to standard.

If you can hold out against the anticipation, I have some wonderful updates to share before we reveal the prize and revised event details... Let's dive in!

< A sponsorship banner flashes across your Mindsim >

Let's come together to celebrate our incredible early bird sponsors: Poetry In Motion and the Clan Mournal Combat!

That's right, Fashion Week is sponsored by the one... the only... Poetry In Motion, the sector's hottest provider of the trendiest looks! Thanks to this purveyor of taste, the prize pool has jumped by an incredible ONE MILLION MARKS and 100 credits! Don't wait - head to your nearest trade terminal or dash down to the physical hot-spot in Marle and see what's got the sector abuzz: Poetry In Motion!

Additionally, many thank-yous to the illustrious combat organization Clan Mournal Kombat as they have contributed an additional 500,000 marks to prize pool.

A word from this sponsor: Tired of critters and jitters? Ready to play with the best of the best? Then come on down and join us at Clan Mournal Kombat! We have regular events for all beings of all shapes and sizes with fantastic prizes and awards for everyone! Everyone is welcome to join - remember, it's not all blood and gore, but fun and more!

When all seemed lost, the wonderful Afesotinuilar Matari stepped up to make the impossible happen. Thanks to his exceeding kindness and excellent taste, our venue will now be The Holocene Gallery, Sot's shop in Almasi.

We'll need to give our new venue a little time to get spruced up and ready to go, so that means all designers have a little more time to add those final touches to their pieces!

The event will now be hosted Nulday in the 2nd week of Solaris, 971 A.E.
