The purpose is to shine a spotlight on fashion icons from the city of Pittsburgh. We want to bring them to the forefront to honor them and continue to inform Pittsburghers that there are people here and from here who have done prominent things in the world of fashion. That is why we are honoring these iconic figures. Honorees will be announced in March and will be inducted at a luncheon at the Omni William Penn hotel, Downtown, on the last day of fashion week, September 30.

Aside from fashion weeks in major American cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, a number of smaller cities have debuted their own fashion weeks in recent years: Portland, Ore., Charlotte, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Phoenix to name a few. But none began as ambitiously as Pittsburgh Fashion Week in terms of length, and none have a hall of fame concept to honor local fashion luminaries.

The public can keep up with the latest developments of Pittsburgh Fashion Week at www.pittsburghfashionweek.com and through social media on the Friends of Pittsburgh Fashion Week page on Facebook and Twitter.


Thank You,
