Beigeblond Salon and Most Everything Vintage are coming together once again to host Couve Couture, the biggest fashion shows of the season featuring 10 designers and over 100 models. 

The picturesque historic Providence Academy will be the back drop for Couve Couture’s 175 foot runway (they’re going for the U.S. record for longest runway!). Guests will be able to choose where to watch the show; ballroom, chapel, prohibition room, or hallway. Each designer will send their collection through every room, which means every guest will have a great view of the garments.
