About Beyond Trend 2019:

Beyond Trend is a celebratory fashion performance featuring wearable art created and modeled by Creative Growth artists, bringing the energy of the studio to the historic theater at the Oakland Scottish Rite Center. Immediately following the show, a Pop-Up Shop opens, giving everyone the opportunity to take home looks direct from the runway. Dinner following the Pop-Up is a VIP experience at Lake Chalet, across from the Scottish Rite. Guests will enjoy an intimate dinner and live music al fresco on Lake Merritt. Throughout the event, Bay Area culinary icons, including Cal Peternell, Henry’s, Tartine, Nokni, Ramen Shop, Humphrey Slocombe, and The Kon-Tiki, will provide goodies for all guests to enjoy while celebrating Creative Growth.

The Beyond Trend Host Committee includes Kim Hastreiter, co-founder of Paper magazine; Todd Waterbury, Target’s Chief Creative Officer; and Caroline Wanga, Target’s Chief Diversity Officer. Creative Growth is grateful for the support of Presenting Sponsor Target; Gold Sponsor Method; and Silver Sponsors Levi’s and Tidewater Capital and EJF Philanthropies.
