Boston Fashion Week 2010 - September 24th thru October 1st

FROM THE FOUNDER

2010 marks the beginning of an exciting new decade for fashion in Boston! This new era provides Boston Fashion Week with the opportunity to build on fifteen years of experience, while simultaneously benefiting from a fresh new perspective on what 'Boston fashion' means. Over the years Boston Fashion Week has served as a fertile proving ground for fashion talents, and the ideal time of year for local fashion professionals to explore new ideas, innovate, and express themselves. This year will surely be no exception.

Traditional runway shows, special events and parties will always be a mainstay of a week that celebrates fashion, but I'd like to personally extend a challenge to both the creative forces behind the week and their audiences, to think differently about fashion. Shrug off pre-conceived notions. Delve into the possibilities. Experiment, with everything. Our region is internationally recognized as a hub of creative thinkers in so many different disciplines. Those who love and create fashion in the area are in a unique position to define the future of the local industry and how it is perceived locally, nationally and around the globe. So let's do just that!

Boston Fashion Week was founded in 1995. The force behind the week has been dedicated to creating opportunities that increase the viability and visibility of the local industry. The series of fashion related events throughout Greater Boston and beyond serves as a platform for both established industry professionals and aspiring newcomers to showcase their work as well as network with peers and the public. This annual celebration of Boston style featuring a great wealth of local talent, is unique in that it is designed to engage the community directly, at the grassroots level -- cultivating fashion as an integral part of the Boston lifestyle.

Accessibility and diversity in programming allow the public to engage the week on many levels; experiencing a show, taking in an exhibit, participating in an educational program or joining in the festivities at a party. The week also contributes to a sense of civic pride about what the region has to offer and how it continues to evolve. You’re invited to become an active participant in the local fashion community by supporting local style makers during Boston Fashion Week and throughout the rest of the year.
