Calling all Baltimore fashionistas:
Baltimore Fashion Week takes over the town for its twelfth year in a row this August. From August 3-11, the city will come alive with events showcasing the creations of the best and brightest members of the Baltimore fashion industry.
Over the course of its history, Baltimore Fashion Week has put the spotlight on the
work of hundreds of local designers, plus the hair and makeup professionals and
production teams that support their showings.
Baltimore Fashion Week was launched in 2008 with the mission of providing local
designers and artists with a strong venue to share and sell their creations. It is also
a fundraiser for the Fashion Umbrella Foundation, a local non-profit that encourages individuals interested in fashion, the arts and business.
