Fashion, food & fire!

The hottest fashion show of the year in OC? That might be the AnQi and Bloomingdale’s at South Coast Plaza collaboration at 6:30 p.m. Thursday for the global mega-event, Fashion’s Night Out.

On the catwalk, Costa Mesa firefighters will be the male models strutting the season’s new designs on AnQi’s 66-foot glass runway in the dramatic dining room. More importantly, the fashion event commemorates the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and salutes the heroism of firefighters everywhere.

AnQi will donate 30% of the evening’s proceeds to the Costa Mesa Firefighters Widows and Orphans Fund. Premiere VIP catwalk seats cost $150; general admission is $55; both include cocktails and Asian fusion tapas. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. And Bloomingdale’s has created an exclusive 9/11 commemorative t-shirt available at the event.

To purchase tickets call AnQi at 714-557-5676. Tickets will be for sale at the door, depending on availability.

AnQi by Crustacean is adjacent to Bloomingdale’s at South Coast Plaza. 3333 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa.
