    MINNEAPOLIS, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Marshall Field's continues to
 receive accolades for its "Vertical Fashion Show" by winning the "Best PR
 Event" award last night at the Event Marketer Magazine's Ex Awards Gala in
 Chicago.
     "This over-the-top event was the highlight of an unbelievable array of
 special events that were part of our State Street Renaissance," said Greg

 12,000 spectators who viewed in amazement as our models walked the vertical
 catwalk."
     In September, Marshall Field's attracted national attention by hosting the
 first-ever "Vertical Fashion Show" in the United States.  The event kicked off

 showcasing designer clothing and merchandise from Marshall Field's new
 vendors.
