I am excited and pleased to announce that Tampa, FL will host its first local Fashion Week. It makes my heart leap to see that there are prominent people in the fashion industry who are seeking innovative ways to spread the buzz about fashion in areas other than NYC. The event will be held in Tampa September 24-27 and will feature collections in high fashion, custom and ready-to-wear. Tickets can be purchaed directly from the website. Visit http://www.fashionweektampabay.com/about.html for the schedule and ticket prices. This is an awesome opportunity to network with designers, fashionistas, people who are in the fashion industry, and simply cover the story as a journalist (which is what I will be doing!) I will be posting photos and information of the event. Can't wait!
