Prepare to be wowed by a fashion revolution! Dive into the world of cutting-edge style with a runway show that’s shaking up Milwaukee in the most dramatic, dazzling way. Five local designers took the spotlight and turned the Milwaukee Historical Society into a sartorial spectacle like no other!

Forget everything you know about fashion shows because on October 19, over 200 eager attendees witnessed “Metamorphosis,” an unforgettable showcase. Hosted by the incredible Maria Olsson, this event was a feast for the senses, featuring designers like MISHKA, STUTZ, Hades, The Realm, and the eco-chic Matte Black.

With Drag artist Melee the Queen injecting humor and flair, the night kicked off with Hades’ streetwear collection “AMATERASU,” where models did more than just strut—they transformed right before our eyes!

Then came STUTZ, where models seemed to float in ethereal gowns adorned with flower crowns, a true testament to the enchantment of Cassandra Stutzman’s designs.

The sustainable star of the night was Matte Black, pushing boundaries with recycled denim in a mesmerizing ballet-infused performance. Who knew denim could dance?

But wait, there's more! The Realm transported us to a fantastical world with models morphing into mystical creatures, complete with wings and elven ears. It was like stepping into a renaissance fair full of magic and mystery.

Finally, Maria Olsson herself closed the show with MISHKA’s “Metamorphosis” collection, a boundary-pushing fusion of art and fashion, making sure everyone knew that Milwaukee’s fashion scene is anything but ordinary.

Behind the scenes, this event was a labor of love, showcasing the power of collaboration and creativity. Maria Olsson sums it up: “I’m gonna go as far as I possibly can, until I can’t stop.”
