One event we currently do not have in Buffalo is our own iFashion Weeki. We have fashion shows and high fashion boutiques (photo AmE Mi) but, no actual event to showcase new designs in the fashion world for people of all ages to enjoy.
Imagine a week long or even a two to three day long of events throughout the city. Think Infringement Festival – to showcase up and coming local and worldwide designers, the newest trends, a chance to get high profile names in the fashion world to Buffalo and showcase our city and itis talented people.
Of course our own version of this event will in no way compete with New York City or Paris, but it will at least give us something fun and new to the area.
My experience in this industry has been putting on Fashion Shows in some of the hottest night clubs in Manhattan and working with fashion designers. Iive learned a lot during Fashion Week New York, 2006 and would love to bring that flavor and fun here to the Queen City.
I am looking for people who feel the same and are as passionate, people who can help bring such an event to frutation. If you or someone you know is connected with local, national and worldwide designers (just starting out, up & coming and well known), and anyone else connected in in this industry who may help us create a Fashion Week Buffalo, please contact me and let’s get this started.
