About the Event
The event was introduced to wild acclaim on October 31, 2008. It is a production of the Short North Business Association. Nearly 10,000 guests attended year one. HighBall is built on a foundation of fashion and the artistry of the masquerade. The central focus of the event is the 80-foot runway built directly on High Street under the glowing iconic arches that line the Short North corridor. The street is converted to a high-tech, New York-style, celebration of Columbus' creativity. Music. Dancing. Seeing. Being Seen. The evening features a number of fashion and costume competitions held on the runway.
About the Costume Couture Fashion Showdown
Established and emerging fashion designers take to the runway with four looks from their standard collection as literally thousands of guests cheer them on. In addition, each designer creates one couture costume to cap off his/her collection. That single piece is judged by a panel of industry experts and one designer is crowned HighBall Couture Costume Designer of the Year. Fifty to sixty models participate on the runway in the showdown.
