“Fashion Runway Event” with French all the Seams will be featured at The AUK Market on Saturday, Sept.13, and will feature local Gainesville designs.  

This free event starts at 6 p.m. with the fashion show at 7 p.m. on Saturday, at 2031 NW 6th St. in Gainesville. The show will feature music and local delectables.

The showcase will highlight unique and cutting-edge fashion design created in Gainesville. The specialty evening runway event “Abalone Shore” by Jennifer Parker of French all the Seams will celebrate the fusion of textile craftsmanship and creative expression, spotlighting distinctive design talent from our local community.

The Fashion Runway Event is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Korea’s Haenyeo — the fearless free-diving women of Jeju Island — and the raw, natural beauty of California’s Abalone Coast. This collection reimagines strength, grace, and a deep connection to the sea through modern silhouettes and textured materials. Merging cultural heritage with coastal spirit, the show celebrates resilience, freedom, and the quiet power found beneath the waves.
