These Models Are on Fire; Seriously Their Outfits Are Spewing Fire

At a place called The Crucible in Oakland, you can take classes on things like fire performance, "hot wheels," neon and light, foundry, and lots more industrial-slash-dangerous-sounding things. And in February, they're throwing a fashion show that also fits that description.

There will be copious fire, some of it shooting out of models' headwear, contortionists, and lots more that you'll not likely find at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York, including demonstrations on blacksmithing, woodworking, and stone working. There will be a "fire spin jam" (naturally), beverages and food, and you can sign up for discounted Crucible classes.

It's happening on Friday, February 15 at The Crucible's aptly-named "Fireside Lounge" at 1260 7th Street in Oakland. Check out the video above for a preview.
