For the public:
Mark your
calendars! The local fashion scene truly comes alive during this
celebration of Boston style. Be sure to block off time during the
week to enjoy all the shows, parties, special events, and
educational programming that takes place during what has become one
of the most highly anticipated annual traditions in Boston.
It’s just under
five months until Boston Fashion Week, and we’re very encouraged by
the fact that more than a dozen events are already in the works (we
love the early birds), and those are only the ones we have been
alerted to! So, it promises to be another chock-full, city-wide
fashion experience.
Be sure you’re
subscribed to the official Boston Fashion Week email list on
BostonFashionWeek.com, and that you are following us on Facebook and
Twitter.
Don’t forget
that Boston Fashion Week started off as, and remains a grassroots
civic initiative designed to build awareness for the great wealth of
fashion talent we have in our very own backyard. We encourage you to
seek out local fashion professionals, buy local, and be instrumental
in helping our local fashion industry thrive!
For the
industry:
We hope that
designers, retailers, event producers, and all local fashion
professionals throughout the Boston area have already started
planning on how they will participate.
As some of you
may have already heard, The Tent shows will not be taking place this
year. Although The Tent venue will be missed this fall, the partners
who made it possible the past two years are already thinking about
what shape it might take next year! The Tent partners are also very
committed to supporting the local fashion community in other ways
between now and then. Please note that this means some prime time
for programming has opened up at the beginning of the week for
anyone scheduling an event!
Boston Fashion
