NorthPark Center's Fashion at the Park, presented by Cadillac, announces the return of its annual iconic event with seven days of high-energy fashion and non-stop excitement on and off the runway. Featuring the best of Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 collections from Friday, October 10 - Thursday, October 16, Fashion at the Park welcomes over 22 top designer shows and events to their luxury tent complex. Don't miss the front row action of Fashion at the Park -- tickets go on sale to the public Monday, August 18 at its website.

Nonstop fashion action includes appearances by international designers, after parties, in-store events, trunk shows, free fashion photography exhibits, glamorous charity benefits, one-of-a-kind silent auctions and more. After viewing the collections on the runway, "shop the shows" in NorthPark Center, one of the premier luxury shopping centers in the United States with more than 235 fine stores and restaurants.

"I have been to Dallas many times. My first major American trunk show was in Dallas in the '70s," said famed designer and Fashion at the Park attendee Roberto Cavalli. "Dallas women are very fashion conscious; they know exactly what's on the market, what looks best on them and they enjoy playing with fashion. For me, they represent the perfect client, and it's always a pleasure to meet with them. Fashion at the Park has become a world class fashion event. It's beautifully set, and it's a great opportunity for me to interact with my clients, understand their needs and deliver always great collections."

"We have visited Dallas only once before. We love the creative spirit and independence that exists in Dallas," said Rodarte designer duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy. "We're very excited to visit Dallas and NorthPark Center to meet all the amazing women that make up such a vibrant fashion community."
