It is officially that time of the year again, the District’s multi-award-winning fashion show is finally back! This is the time of year when locals and out-of-towners casually stroll in their best outfits. Between the hosts, models, and show attendees, we can never tell who’s best dressed. DC Fashion Week, Season 37 welcomed its guests with some outstanding events. The week kicked off with a mixer at a venue in Dupont Circle. This was a great opportunity for creatives to meet one another, show off their skills and learn more about emerging designers. The room was filled with conversations and laughter; but, the best part about the mixer was the runaway. The models gracefully walked the runaway as they interacted with the crowd. Of course, the runaway isn’t as fun, if guests don’t join! Many attendees had the chance to show off their catwalk, and get framed by some talented photographers. On day two, the Washington Menswear Collection show was hosted at the Patterson Mansion. This location was perfectly picked for this collection. Many new designers and local artists got to showcase their best pieces, including formal and streetwear. Day three was dedicated to the ladies. The women’s collection was nothing ordinary. We got to see futuristic designs, beachwear, and casual pieces. What one could appreciate about the show was the wide diversity in the designs. The stories that designers shared were heartfelt, you see and hear the passion in their work. On the last day, the crowd was simply wowed! Day four was dedicated to international couture. International couture day introduced us to designs from all over the world. the color, the designs, and the patterns were a must-see. DC Fashion Week put on an amazing show for all attendees. If you have not been, be sure to attend next year. You won’t regret it!
