New York's storied Fashion Week ended on Wednesday, but for those still
pining for a high-fashion fix, Baltimore now has its own Fashion Week.

Baltimore Fashion Week - which started last Saturday, ends today with a
ready-to-wear runway show at Red Maple, a tapas lounge in Mount Vernon.
It starts at 8 p.m. and includes the creations of such local designers
as Amy Waller, Timbro, Sara Mathes and Lindsay Michael.

The show also will highlight some of the designs in the Mims line of
clothing, which is the brainchild of Pam Haner, one of the organizers of
Baltimore Fashion Week.

"We felt that Baltimore needed more fashion things happening," says
Haner, a ready-to-wear designer who also works as a bartender and
waitress. "We really wanted to give local designers an opportunity to
show things to the public."

The ready-to-wear show caps a week of fashion-related events organized -
without sponsors - by Haner and couture designer April Camlin, who is
also a hairstylist.
