“Hustle & Bustle is an opportunity to experience the modern styles coming out of the Portland Saturday Market in a traditional fashion show setting. The boutique qualities of these designers aren’t muddled down by the distractions of the weekend Market. Portland is quickly conquering the nations fashion scene and Portland Saturday Market is an ideal venue to find local fashion artists,” explained Reid Decker, Marketing Manager.

Guests meandered through installations of other Market artists, listening to the cool tunes of Mr. Wu (http://soundcloud.com/mr_wu) and sampling chocolates, and other fine desserts from the Market. The event continued with a runway show of contemporary PSM designers showcasing their latest creations. At the end of the fashion show the audience enjoyed a “Transitional Groove Performance by: inLOVE”: leading directly into a late night high energy dance party featuring GlobalRukus (http://soundcloud.com/globalruckus) and Icarus.
