Popina will be having a Swimwear Portland Fashion Show at Vinideaus a NE Portland Wine Bar on Fremont tonight @ 7pm!  There are a number of great reasons to go to this event tonight:

1) Vinideaus is an awesome wine bar.  The owner’s Dominique (a native of the South of France) and his American Wife Dianne have created a little slice of the South of France for us to enjoy in Portland.  Not a very easy thing to pull off but they have done so in a very organic way.

2) Vinideaus has A/C and Portland is projecting a record all high time temperature high of 108.  How about some refreshing chilled white wine?

3) Beautiful women wearing Popina Retro Swimwear Fashions.

4) There will be a belly dancing segment.

Vinideus Wine Bar in NE Portland will be hosting Popina to preview our 2009 swimwear line on Thursday, 10/09/08 at 7pm.  This will kick off a three four day celebration to welcome the start to Cruise Season!

Day One Thursday, 10/09/08 at 7pm will feature a bathing suit fashion show at Vinideaus Wine Bar.  Vinideus is one of the best kept secrets in Portland, nestled in the Beaumont Village of Northeast Portland next door to the Alameda Brew Pub.  There will be five professional models from Murphy Talent Group who will be doing two “looks” a piece.  Vinideus is owned by Dominique, a native of the South of France (Aix-en-Provence).  Dominique has done amazing job of creating the casual, warm and quaint of the South of France.  Below are some preview pictures of designer Pamela Levenson’s 2009 Popina Line.

The address of Vinideus is 4759 NE Fremont, web address is www.vinideus.net.

Day Two, Friday, 10/10/08, kicks off the Huge Cruise Season Kickoff Sale at Popina.  All swimwear will be 15-75% off.  Purchases over $125 will receive a free pair of A.J.

Popina’s Portland Swimwear Shop is located at 4831 NE 42nd Avenue.

Portland Fashion Week has been steadily gaining popularity and has helped the Portland Fashion scene develop.  Popina participated in the first two years of Portland Fashion Week, this year we will not be showing our Bathing Suit line at Portland Fashion Week but we will be having a huge Cruise Season Kick Off Sale October 10th - 12th to celebrate the return of Portland Fashion Week!  All merchandise in the store will be 15%-75% off. 

We will also be having our own 2009 Spring Preview event at Vinideus Wine Bar on October 9th at 7:00pm.  We will be featuring our new styles and fabrics for the 2009 Swimwear Season with models from Murphy Management.  Vinideus is a great place to take in this Fashion event, it is a neighborhood wine shop in the Beumont Wilshire Neighborhood that transports you to the South of France.  Owner Dominique is a native to the South of France and has managed to capture the intimate, warm and casual feel of the South of France.

 So join Popina Swim for a celebration of Portland Fashion Week with a sale and a Fashion Show!
