“This year’s theme is The Four Elements.

Hot Couture celebrates the avant garde fusion of fire, fashion, industrial materials, and haute couture, sometimes with shocking results! For 2015, we asked designers for imaginative, new and well executed, wearable designs incorporating or inspired by the four elements: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.

We will present our unique flaming fashion show, featuring dazzling runway performances and special guests, on two different nights, Friday January 9 and Saturday January 10. Ten artists and designer teams will create thirty-eight haute couture concepts, illustrating the intersection between fashion, traditional materials, and fabrication during the evening.

General admission tickets are only $45 in advance, $60 at the door. All general admission tickets are for standing room only. Limited VIP tickets are available for both nights, for $100 in advance, $125 at the door (if available). VIP tickets include seats near the runway, complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres.”
