Phoenix Fashion Week
In its eighth year, Phoenix Fashion Week has assembled a robust lineup of all things fashion – runway shows, shopping, a modeling contest, workshops and more. The four-day Oct. 3 to Oct. 6 event will be held primarily at Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale.
Led by an 11-person team dedicated to the continuing success of the event and showcasing emerging talent as well as world-famous designers, the week also is dedicated to “fashionable humanity,” benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure Phoenix with its Fashionably Pink celebrity runway show. The show kicks off the event Oct. 3 with each designer creating one outfit inspired by the color pink. More than 30 celebrities and local breast cancer survivors will wear the apparel on the runway.
