The Mint Runway Show

Downtown Raleigh is becoming a hot spot for food and fashion, and The Mint Restaurant is a significant part of this transformation.

In this Webisode of The Shopping Fix we visit The Mint, which played host to SoHo's fall/winter runway show, a cutting-edge boutique in Raleigh featuring the most current trends in this season's designer clothes. The Mint successfully combined contemporary Southern fare with the latest looks off European runways.

As models mingled among guests, The Mint served an assortment of breads, fruit, cheeses and one of the most delicious grilled chicken salads imaginable.

The word of the day was "girly," as designers brought back the elegant ladylike look accentuated by layers of light fabric with ribbon and bow accessories. Deep blue/grays, rustic reds and jewel tones were revealed as the colors of the moment.

Thanks to The Mint, where food and fashion blended beautifully to create a feast for the eyes (and the mouth)!
