Photo Gallery: Fashion Freakout 2010

Written by Sarah Vasquez

The Mohawk was packed as fans of vintage fashion (and those of us with a budget looking for inspiration) gathered around for the third annual Fashion Freakout. Three locally owned vintage stores showcased their styles: Buffalo Exchange, New Bohemia and Prototype Vintage Design. Host Matt Bearden amusingly entertained the crowd while the models were preparing their looks backstage.

Buffalo Exchange first went for '80s glam fashion, featuring a lot of lace and velvet to accentuate the vibrant colors in each outfit. With its second collection, the store went with a more modernized, glitzy biker style. New Bohemia's models wore a variety of outfits that highlighted two different styles, whether it was '70s country western or '60s mod. Prototype Vintage was the final store, with thier models clothed in revamped disco fashion and Madonna-inspired style. But overall, the looks of the night seemed to have one theme in common: lots and lots of accessories.

The evening's performing act, The Carrots, brought back '50s doo-wop as they performed covers and originals during intermission and at the end of the night. For someone like me who isn't normally fashion conscience, Fashion Freakout 3 was enjoyable to even the more clueless amateur.

Fashion Freakout took place at The Mohawk on Feb. 5, 2010. All photos by Mari Hernandez.
