Boston Caribbean Fashion Week
The Reconstruction of Fashion
Reimagine, Redesign, and Revitalize
This year, we want to focus on the business of fashion. During this time, the fashion community is hurting in so many ways. We really had to pause on how we ran our businesses and reflect on the future of them. Our BCFW expo will feature our region's fashion professionals sharing their relevant insight to our recovery as an industry and arming us with the information needed to propel our fashion community forward.
Rebuilding ourselves and our businesses.
