Frox to Hold NYC-Style Fashion Show in Ambler

A New York-style fashion show is coming to the Ambler Theater, hosted by women's boutique Frox.

Jill Strickland, owner of Frox, said the semi-annual event began with 100 people in her store in Perkasie, expanded to the loft space above the Perkasie store, and now has grown large enough that they are glamorously taking over the Ambler Theatre on April 4.

Runway, red carpet, paparazzi, cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres will just be the beginning of this fun girls night out. The fashion show itself will take place in the main theater, with real Frox customers modeling the clothes, ages 16 to 82.

Strickland said the models are all shapes, sizes, coloring, and every woman in attendance will be able to associate with one of the models. She said the night is very powerful and moving, with so many women looking stunning and feeling comfortable in their bodies.

Strickland said the theme this year is Andy Warhol's flowers, and the bright and pastel colors, and the flower pattern will be seen in the decorations and in the clothing modeled throughout the evening. The store's front window also has an art installation for the fashion show on the theme.

Strickland told Patch that she wanted to try to get the entire business community involved in the fashion show. Massa is guaranteeing fashion show attendees will be able to come in for dinner and get out in time for the cocktail hour, Trax is having a dinner special, swag bags will be given out to the first 50 women in the door, which will include items from Sew Vintage, Chamaeleon Boutique, Hatch, Free Shop, Frox, Pure Spa, Mercedes Benz of Fort Washington, and many more.

Strickland said the spring event will always be held in Ambler. A fall fashion show is also held, this year it is behind held at the Sellersville Theater.

Tickets for the fashion show can be purchased at the Ambler Theater box office and more information can be found on the Frox website.
