This grassroots movement that started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947 has spread across the world, creating an outlet to celebrate artistic expression. 2010 marks the SIXTH year of Fringe in Kansas City. Our goal is to engage the community in the heart and soul of human culture — creativity and artistic expression. The Fringe allows artists to present their work in a truly creative and free environment. I am so excited to welcome 126 artist entries from around the world to Kansas City. The Fringe team has taken steps to make this year’s festival more accessible than ever. With new venues, entertainment for the whole family, and many more shows, Fringe is more vibrant than ever. This is the “must do” event of the summer. I want to thank the venues who have opened their doors to us, the production staff, tech crews, box office volunteers and especially the volunteer Committee of Operations. This event couldn’t happen without them, nor could it happen without you. Most of all, I want to thank all the artists. Without their willingness to participate none of this would happen. And I know they would like me to thank you, the audience, for giving them a chance to hear ‘their voice’. Treat yourself. Take a chance and try something new and unexpected. Wishing you the best Fringe ever. — Cheryl Kimmi KKFI We were Fringe before it was cool. Celebrating 22½ years... and a day!

Meet the Designers THURSDAY, JULY 29 6:30pm.......................... YOUth Fashion 6:00pm-9:00pm.......... Fashion Market FRIDAY, JULY 30 9:00pm................ Fringe Fashion Show SATURDAY, JULY 31 9:00pm................ Fringe Fashion Show Jewelry and fashion can function as a material reflection of a society. With the use of fabric and metal, Cheryl questions the traditional concepts of wear ability and the connections between apparel, jewelry and the skin. The body works as a site of display. The metal is laminated directly to the skin, a three-dimensional canvas, holding the clothing in place. This symbiotic relation between the metal and the fabric become reminiscent to the site for them to be fully understood. Artist Edward Steichen has raised questions and/or awareness about significant cultural issues considering decadence and extravagance as a conceptual project. Cheryl, as well, wants the wearer to fall into a self-indulgent state, as the jewels become part of the body and the outfit. With her collection “Impressions,” Cheryl questions the possibilities of adornment on the body, boldness and what the future of fashion holds in our cosmopolitan time. ERICA SWORD Erica’s collection is called Ascension Thread. Each piece of Ascension Thread evolves from found object, mythic stories, and that which is unnamed but running through us all. This year’s collection is ethereal and utilitarian at the same time. GREENING X CHANGE Trunk Show Kick off your Fringe Fashion week on Saturday, July 24 with the Trunk Show at the elegant Kansas City Club, 918 Baltimore. Hosted by Katie Gilchrist, the Trunk Show features a runway with DJ Leo and a few Fringe teasers. You’ll also have an opportunity to shop from all of the Fringe designers. A cash bar will be available. 14 Greening X-Change was created as a way to creatively reuse and repurpose commonly discarded items. We give life to old clothes, pop bottles, jewelry, bags, and anything else with an interesting shape or texture. The finished products range from romantic dresses, skirts and tops to tailored asymmetrical vests and halters. Attention to detail is very important. Pieces incorporate custom stitching, ruching, hand embroidery and unique screen printed designs. Even though their clothing incorporates nontraditional materials, style and beauty are not sacrificed. BURLESQUE DANCE FASHION House of Cochon is a local accessories design company owned by Courtney Perry. Courtney works in many mediums, but this year has chosen to develop her Fringe line from the hard lines of leather and crystals, balancing their edge with soft lines in the dresses. Courtney is also the fashion show coordinator and would like to thank her friends, family and everyone involved in Fringe for their love and support. JESSY BERGMANN Jessy’s design philosophy is that of manipulating fabric and making it its own skin. She feels that the manipulation of fabric which encompasses the techniques of pleating, gathering, ruffling or embroidery make her yearn for this new texture which is created in the process, not only enjoyed by the sense of touch but also the sense of sight. The idea and use of color is very soothing. She tends to have somewhat of a “whimsical” perspective while creating/ designing the garments. The individual whom she designs for is that of an “adventurous” younger woman. While some of the designs might be more everyday wear others tend to be for a unique encounter. KASHOLM Kasholm’s design philosophy starts with think of what is flattering, then what is the best asset to be shown and design from those to point of views. After that part is together the focus is on fit and individuality. FILM FRINGE MUSIC SPOKEN WORD Prose…boutique celebrates the cyclical nature of fashion. Our specialty is retro and vintage clothing and accessories to be reinvented and made relevant for the modern woman and man. Wearing vintage fashion is not about costume; it’s about classics.
