About Fashion Week Tampa Bay:
A group comprised of local, young professionals in the Tampa Bay area who are committed to leveraging their skills and talents while giving back to their communities established Fashion Week Tampa Bay in June 2007. Their focus is to showcase the talents of established and emerging designers from Tampa Bay and surrounding areas, while recognizing that an individual’s sense of style is deeply related to other elements, like the way he/she sees the world we live in and his/her contribution to its overall welfare. Mayor Pam Iorio issued a proclamation officially declaring September 24-27, 2008 as the Inaugural Fashion Week Tampa Bay in an effort to showcase established and emerging designers from Tampa Bay and surrounding locations. The week will consist of multiple runway shows, boutique vendor shows and activities throughout Tampa Bay.
While Fashion Weeks are held in numerous cities across the country, Tampa Bay’s version will differ from other Fashion Week events by including a focus on community involvement. Net proceeds will be donated to local charities that are committed to the well being of and service to our world, our children, our health and our future. This inaugural year event will benefit Best Buddies of Tampa, an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities, and the YWCA of Tampa Bay, a group that strives to create opportunities for women’s growth, leadership and power.
