The inaugural Pittsburgh Fashion Week occurs at the perfect time to highlight fall fashions and accessories available at the plethora of local boutiques, specialty stores, department stores, and consignment and off-price stores. While embracing and encompassing the breadth of fashion available in Pittsburgh, the event will set a new standard in terms of high-quality, New York-style runway shows complete with VIP seating, credentialed media access, and upscale promotional and after-parties that will attract thousands.
Pittsburgh Fashion Week is a cultural and social event that will grow each year, giving experts one more reason to name the city “America’s Most Livable.” While the city’s championship sports teams, unique cultural amenities, and wonderful people have put Pittsburgh on the map, Pittsburgh Fashion Week will help make sure we stay there.
The event’s official Web site, www.pittsburghfashionweek.com, is where the public can sign up to volunteer, glean sponsorship information, view a schedule of events, register to attend; and see day-to-day coverage of fashion week highlights.
