Talk about creativity. This year’s kick off for the Syracuse Style Fashion Event featured a fashion show with live models encased in the window displays at the Landmark Theater. Syracuse Fashionista/Designer Lisa Marie Butler was overheard telling visitors to the event, which was held at Jefferson and South Clinton Streets, that she got the idea from seeing a similar production in another city.
The traditional fashion show will take place next week on Walton Street.
