STITCH Runway Show & Style Market 2025
Maine Crafts Association’s (MCA) annual fundraiser at Maine Studio Works brought together lovers of slow fashion for an unforgettable celebration of wearable art. The evening featured a high-energy runway show spotlighting seven talented Maine designers, an inspiring keynote from local fashion icon Jill McGowan, and live screen-printing action from Little Chair Printing. Guests sipped on craft cocktails from Cocktail Mary, cooled down with refreshing summer samples from Coffee by Design, and shopped the vibrant style market featuring 18 incredible vendors offering apparel, accessories, and more.
