Are you considered a fashion icon or know someone who is?
Pittsburgh Fashion Week (PFW) is looking for individuals who have impacted Pittsburgh through fashion, style or beauty.
The public is invited to nominate anyone with roots in Pittsburgh for the award. Nominations must include the name of the nominee, explanation of why the person is deserving, and contact information of the nominee.

The purpose is to shine a spotlight on fashion icons from the city of Pittsburgh. We want to bring them to the forefront, honor them and continue to inform Pittsburghers we have persons who have greatly impacted the World of Fashion. That is why we are honoring these iconic figures.
In addition to this induction and for the time, we will announce a NEW component the “Exceptional Artist Award”.
