The local designers who showed collections last night, and most of the fabulously dressed crowd in attendance (other than St. Paul Pioneer Press fashion writer Nancy Ngo who broke the news via Twitter), had no clue He was in their midst. When I asked designer Christopher Straub, whose candy-coated collection closed The Shows, how it felt to know Prince was watching. “Do we even know if he saw my show,” Straub, the Project Runway alum, asked. “It would be nice if he wanted to buy the whole collection!”
Murphy says Prince arrived before the first designer, and left after the last. She was summonsed to speak to Prince at the end of the evening—and he even removed his glasses. That’s all she can say, and you know, it’s probably better that way. Source
