Danbury Fashion Week Sets Events

DANBURY, CT—The city’s first ever Fashion Week will take to the runways, walkways and streets of downtown Danbury on July 24.

Danbury Fashion Week's goal is to "prove that eclectic experiences in small spaces can and will challenge the current fashion standard dictated by the fashion industry."

The dates of events for the Fashion Week are listed below:

Week of Events:

• July 24 - Pop Up Shop Marketplace: Selected designers will be paired with a local business to set up a pop up shop inside the businesses storefront. This event will be open to the community in order to support not just the artists but the local businesses as well.
• July 25 - Designer Led Workshops: Workshops provided by the selected designers. These workshops give the designers a chance to share their unique skills and ideas to the community.
• July 26 - Film Screening and Panel Discussion: We will host a film screening with a panel afterwards, highlighting an aspect of the fashion industry.
• July 27 - Launch Party Designers, Models, Bloggers and Guests will mingle the night before in preparation for the Day of Shows to kickoff.
• July 28 - Day of Shows + After Party: Finally, the week will end with a Fashion Show, exposing the designers most recent fashion line. Afterwards a party will take place celebrating the designers and thanking our supporters.

For Danbury's first Fashion Week, designers will be selected to create 8-10 looks for a runway show. Each designer selected will be featured in the show and the pop-up shop market.
