First Ever Fashion Week Tampa Bay
Big news for fashionistas in the southeast United States: beginning today Tampa Bay, Florida, is hosting the first ever Fashion Week Tampa Bay!
Activities will run from today, September 24, through Saturday, September 27. Talented fashion and accessory designers from the southeast U.S. will be highlighted in their home region during the event.
The week, which is actually only four days, kicked off with a V.I.P., invite only, cocktail reception this evening at the Tampa Artist Emporium, followed by an exclusive sneak peak of season 2 of Lipstick Jungle, and a book signing by author Casey Wohl of the Girls Getaway Guide. Runway shows and boutiques will run Thursday and Friday evenings, with a showcasing of international design students’ work.
The first, hopefully annual, Tampa Fashion Week will conclude on Saturday with a brunch and silent auction.
Congrats, Florida residents!
Designers to show during the “week” include Trineice Cagua, Bebe Ziegler, Francisco Azucar, Robert Buck, Darrius Mitchell, and Gayla Rogers on Thursday; Ivanka Ska, Essence Flowers, Shante Styles, Pat McGhee, Rhonda Shear, and Sam Varela on Friday.
