Candy and corsets at Missconstrued! Toxic gumdrops was the theme of the grand opening of Missconstrued Boutique in downtown Phoenix. This was not your ordinary boutique grand opening, but then again, there's absolutely nothing ordinary about Missconstrued! Guests were treated to a life sized dancing gingerbread man along with three memorable fashion shows featuring creations from local designers, including signature Missconstrued pieces. Missconstrued Boutique is located on 5th street in the heart of the Phoenix arts district of Roosevelt Row, with eclectic neighbors such as Galeria De Los Muertos and the Lost Leaf.

Let's RAWk! RAW presented another memorable evening filled with artistic stylings from clothing and jewelry designers, photographers, models, makeup artists and musicians. Guests were treated to unique art pieces, musicians playing from inside a boxing ring and models walking the floor with feather eyelashes, flamboyant outfits and custom metal jewelry. RAW is an independent arts organization with chapters in Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York and other cities connecting artists and fostering creativity. The Duce in downtown Phoenix hosted this Holiday RAWk event, bringing a vintage feel with eclectic pieces of history as far as the eye can see.
