Burnsville Mayor to be Featured in Fashion Show at MOA

Mayor Elizabeth Kautz will soon be able to add one more line to her already substantial resume: Runway model.

Kautz will be one of a cadre of prominent alumnae of St. Catherine University to walk in a fashion show at the Mall of America this Thursday. The show will feature new fashions by Ann Taylor and upcycled creations by St. Kate's design students. Current merchandising students will be reposnsible for styling the group of women, which will include Asma Lori Saroya (executive director of CAIR-MN), Annie Ballantine (interior designer and owner of Annie Ballantine Designs) and Cathy Bendel, MD (associate professor and director of the neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship program at the University of Minnesota).

The show will take place in the rotunda on the 1st floor, on the mall's east side. It begins at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
