The event, which was formerly held at the now-defunct Cafe Brasil, features the work of local designers and consists primarily masks, hats, and other sequined and festive clothing items. According to reports, Blue Nile owner, Jesse Paige has been issued a summons and will be required to appear in court to dispute the charges.
