= A Note from Executive Director, Brian Hill =
Welcome Back to Our Beautiful Home at Wild Horse Pass!
This year we're giving our guests two completely different ways to experience Phoenix Fashion Week in one incredible Saturday. A full day of fashion.
During the afternoon (Noon-3:00pm), Community IMPACT Fashion opens our runway to emerging designers, young creatives and new fashion voices, while giving YOU, the opportunity to discover, support and VOTE LIVE (Best in Show).
Then we reset. The seats change. The looks change. The energy changes.
Luxury Night opens at 6:00pm (evening) begins with something bigger than fashion: (6) breast cancer SURVIVORS in custom pink designer gowns created especially for them to KEEP.
From there, we celebrate 4-months of work from our nationwide Emerging Designer Bootcamp brands and TOP 40 Models, culminating with our Emerging Designer of the Year + Male & Female Model of the Year Awards.
That's what this full day of fashion Saturday means to our fashion family.
Community creates opportunity.
Fashion creates moments.
Education creates success stories.
And when all three come together, that's Phoenix Fashion Week.
Come for the afternoon. Come for the evening. Or spend the entire fashion day with us.
We can't wait to welcome you back to our 88ft. Runway!
