Akira's spring 2012 fashion show is massive every year and this one is no different. Over seven hundred guests will pack the Chicago Lyric Opera for the third annual spring fashion show they're calling Valley of the Castles. It happens on Wednesday, March 21; doors open early at 5:30PM & the show starts at 7PM. And for added glam, Miss Teen USA & Miss Illinois USA have come on board as the hosts.
