Providence, RI gets it. They are dedicating a whole week of style events inviting local designers to take the stage. I am happy to shout this out for two reasons. One, I love the highlight on local independent fashion designers because, as we all know, fashion in the US doesn’t only happen in NYC. And two, because a couple of the painstakingly chosen designers are part of our community. There is another bonus here, the emphasis is on style. I like independent, personal style … it makes me happy knowing not every one will look the same.
StyleWeek Providence is a week long celebration of the fashion, design and culture. At its core are daily formal, invitation-only runway fashion shows for buyers, press and stylists from the Northeast and major metropolitan areas throughout the country. Modeled on major Fashion Weeks in cities like New York, Milan, Paris and London; StyleWeek Providence is New England’s only fashion week event that focuses on the business of fashion. StyleWeek’s shows feature a range of designers, introducing both new talent and latest collections from internationally recognized fashion houses to buyers and media.
Darling designers showing during Style Week include David Chum – Selah D’or, Catalina De La Torre, & Andrea Valentini.
