OCTOBER 13-15, 2011

Weekend includes runway presentations featuring Fall/Winter 2011 fashion and hair trends

Denver (September 21, 2011) - 303 Magazine announces the 5th Annual Hair Show & 2nd Denver Fashion Weekend (DFW) presented by Schomp Automotive and hosted by Channel 2 and FOX 31's Chris Parente. This celebration of style will take place at Exdo Event Center on Thursday, October 13 - Saturday, October 15, featuring
unique runway events each night.

This year marks the first time that 303 Magazine will produce both the legendary Annual Hair Show and DFW together
- resulting in a three-day fashion extravaganza. Renowned runway producer, Autumn Binion (Au79 Productions), will
execute the opening night (Thursday) and Annual Hair Show (Saturday) presentations - rivaling the catwalks of
international fashion houses. Binion has produced fashion shows in New York City and Los Angeles for A-list
designers including Baby Phat, Jeremy Scott, Heatherette, Mara Hoffman, Nicholi by Nicky Hilton, Sass & Bide, Peter
Som, and Cynthia Vincent, to name a few.

Award-winning, celebrity make-up artist and 303 Magazine beauty editor, Katelyn Simkins, will produce the second
night runway presentation (Friday). From natural to outlandish, Simkins prides herself on creating a cutting edge look
to flatter each unique face she works with. Her prestigious client list includes Charlie Price, NIKE, Universal Studios,
AnnaSophia Robb, Martin Sheen, Aaron Ekhart, Brendan Fraser, Emilio Estevez, Dennis Quaid, The Flobots, Hugh
Dancy, John Cameron Mitchell, Seann William Scott, and Taylor Lautner.

"We're so excited to continue the success of DFW with the grand finale of our one-of-a-kind Hair Show. Denver is rich
with creative talent and ripe with fashion industry professionals-our goal at 303 Magazine is to continually create and
support community and culture, and nothing does it like these signature events," says 303 Magazine publisher AB
Aharonian.

The DFW models (expertly trained and provided by Donna Baldwin Talent) will take to the catwalk showcasing what's
fresh off the New York City runways and available at Denver-area boutiques along with avant-garde hairstyles from the
best local hairdressers.
