Local designers Paul Olszewski of Industree House (www.industreehouse.com) and R. Brooke Priddy of Ship to Shore (www.shiptoshoreshop.com) turned the recent Asheville Film Festival gala (on Saturday, Nov. 10) into their own runway show, complete with Hollywood-style glamour and plenty of paparazzi (including Xpress photographer Jonathan Welch, who shot these photos). Lowriders of Asheville delivered rock stars and models to the red carpet outside the Fine Arts Theatre. The collaborative fashion show featured Priddy’s gowns and Olszewski’s leather creations.
Check out some of the star-studded looks on local celebs.
