NYC is known as one of the four fashion capital of the world (the others include Paris, Milan and London), but if you can’t make it to the Big Apple for major fashion events like Fashion Week, Washington, DC offers some great fashion events this fall you’ll be sure to enjoy.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing with you some DC Fashion Events every Diva in the DMV should attend.
First up, Street Glam 2010!
Produced by Downtown Silver Spring, the outdoor European style “Street Glam Fashion Show” will take over Ellsworth Drive on Saturday, August 21, 2010. The event includes a VIP reception and fashion show with Downtown Silver Spring merchants, leading and emerging local designers.
The VIP reception will take place from 6-7:30pm and the fashion show will begin at 7:30pm. The VIP reception will feature meet the designer and model sessions, fashion industry networking, music, refreshments and complimentary image consultations by Capital Icon.
Part one of the show will include New York & Company, Men’s Wearhouse and Metamorphosis. Part two of the show will introduce five local designers to the DMV scene:
