In honor of Mia’s upcoming “<a href="https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/paris-couture" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paris Couture</a>” exhibition, the Friends of the Institute are pleased to announce Valerie Steele as our speaker on Sunday, September 13. The afternoon promises an engaging experience for all attendees, especially art and fashion lovers alike.
Steele will explore the allure of Paris fashions, from the 17th century to the present day, when Paris retains its reputation as the most prestigious fashion city in the world. Even after the capital of menswear shifted to London, circa 1800, Paris remained the capital of women’s fashion. Between the image of La Parisienne and the rise of the haute couture, Paris developed a genealogy of great designers, such as Worth, Poiret, Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent.
Today, Paris is widely regarded as the most influential and prestigious of the Big Four fashion capitals: New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Indeed, even as Fashion Weeks crop up in dozens of cities around the world, press attention (and buyers for department stores) overwhelmingly focus on Paris, and designers from other countries compete to show their collections in the city.
Valerie Steele is a renowned American fashion historian, curator, and the director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She has authored over eight influential books on fashion history and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the field.
Her book, Paris Fashion: A Cultural History, explores why Paris became—and continues to be—the world’s fashion capital. Steele presents fashion as a social and cultural phenomenon rather than merely a chronological account of designers.

Featuring Joyann Parker
Joyann Parker’s Classic Ladies of Country is a captivating musical journey that pays homage to the timeless and iconic female voices that have shaped the country music genre. With her powerful and versatile vocals, Parker masterfully channels the spirit and emotion of legendary artists such as Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton.
In this mesmerizing tribute, Joyann Parker brings a fresh and authentic perspective to beloved hits like “Stand By Your Man,” “I Will Always Love You,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man),” “The End of the World” and many more. With each song, Parker’s delivery is filled with deep respect for the original recordings while adding her own unique interpretation and modern flair.
Backed by a talented ensemble of musicians who skillfully blend traditional country instrumentation with contemporary arrangements, the music moves seamlessly between heartrending ballads and toe-tapping honky-tonk tunes, evoking a range of emotions that resonate with both longtime country fans and new listeners alike.
Classic Ladies of Country is more than just a musical tribute — it’s a celebration of the indelible impact that female artists have had on country music. These songs have stood the test of time and continue to inspire generations of music lovers.

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres

Featuring Mary Jane Alm, Boyd Lee, Aimée Lee, Paul Frantzich &amp; Tim Frantzich Laurel Canyon is a neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills region of the Santa Monica Mountains. The creative flowering that grew out of this part of Los Angeles in the 1960s and early 1970s produced some of the greatest music of that era, changing the culture and the lives of some of rock and roll’s most gifted artists. Imagine living down the road from Joni Mitchell or just upstairs from Jackson Browne. Imagine if all you had to do on a weekend night was walk down the street to someone’s house where they had a guitar and a piano—and their name was Neil Young, Graham Nash or Glenn Frey. Imagine if your neighbors were musicians starting bands called The Doors, The Byrds, Crosby Stills and Nash, The Monkees, The Eagles and The Mamas &amp; the Papas. Veteran singers Mary Jane Alm, Boyd Lee, Aimée Lee, Paul Frantzich and Timothy Frantzich, along with a stellar lineup of musicians, will take you through the streets of this magical place and time. You’ll hear the stories of some of your favorite musicians. Your memory will be flooded with songs from The Association, The Turtles, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, James Taylor, Buffalo Springfield, Brian Wilson, The Jefferson Airplane and more—all who lived in this beautiful bubble of creativity, friendship, sunshine and music. This show brings together what happened in this special place when it was just the right time, just the right space, with just the right musicians—a moment in time that created the songs of Laurel Canyon. Happens on the following Dates:
<ul><li>Sep 17, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Sep 18, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Sep 19, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)</li></ul>

Loud &amp; Clear: #LIVIN Music Festival Returns Music and Community Combine to Break the Stigma Around Mental Health
Celebrate 8 Years of #LIVIN with Live Music, BBQ, Family Activities, Camping and Camaraderie&nbsp;

WHAT: 		8th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival in Elk River

Join us for the 8th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival, a two-day event to benefit the #LIVIN Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to prevent suicide by creating quality connections through&nbsp;everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships.&nbsp;

Funds from #LIVIN Music Festival are used to directly support the mission of LIVIN Foundation in preventing suicide through various programs like camps and retreats for families and individuals who lost a loved one to suicide, LIVIN Community Fund Financial grant program, suicide prevention training and education, and the mental health resource platform called LivinConnected.&nbsp;

Paul Thomas (PT) helped found the organization after losing his father to suicide in 2013. PT decided that instead of focusing on how his father died, he wanted to embrace the way he lived. “I needed to encourage others to TALK about depression and suicide instead of hiding it due to embarrassment. This way we could reduce the stigma associated with depression and other mental illness and maybe, just maybe, save a life in the process.”
Not only is the #LIVIN Music Festival an opportunity for connection, but PT says it’s a great value with the ability to see seven bands for less than $10 per band. “It’s the best band for your buck!” Join us for the most eclectic country music festival around and help us Start The Conversation, Listen with Intent and Get Busy #LIVIN! Remember it is ALWAYS a great day to be alive!

Lakewood is a serene haven in the heart of Minneapolis’s renowned Chain of Lakes—a place to come together to honor, remember, and reflect.

Edina Brand Launches Smarter Jumpsuit Design

KRE PRIME

Minneapolis — KRE Prime, an Edina-based adaptive brand, is putting a practical twist on one of fashion’s most versatile and often impractical, staples. KRE Prime is an adaptive brand focused on style, accessibility and innovative design. The jumpsuit includes one base pant and two interchangeable tops, allowing wearers to create multiple looks from a single set. Each piece can be worn separately or connected with a discreet zipper to form a full jumpsuit. Grady said the inspiration came from personal experience. Although she appreciated the clean, minimal look of jumpsuits, she found them difficult to wear in everyday situations. “I wanted something that felt effortless but also worked with the way people actually live,” she said. “It needed to be beautiful, but also practical.” That balance extends to accessibility. The design allows the bottom portion to be removed without taking off the top, offering a more flexible and comfortable option for people with a range of mobility needs. Made from structured stretch fabric using recycled materials, the jumpsuit is designed to hold its shape while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. It is intended to transition easily from work to evening. Although KRE Prime operates as a digital-first brand, its roots are local. Grady, who launched the company in part to honor her late sister, said she wanted to create clothing that feels inclusive, thoughtful, and easy to wear. The Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit is now available in black and red, in sizes S through XL, priced at $150. Explore the Dual-Top Convertible Jumpsuit at kreprime.com.
