Fashion Week of Cincinnati...You're on Deck!

The inaugural Fashion Week of Cincinnati is here and we’re doing things differently. This isn’t a traditional runway-heavy fashion week. This is the foundational year that's taking a bold, unorthodox step toward amplifying Cincinnati’s incredible fashion talent and laying the groundwork for what’s to come.

We’re building bridges, elevating voices, and weaving together the fabric of the industry one designer, collaboration, and one moment at a time.

Invitation requests are now open. Space is limited, and this is where it all begins.

Be part of the foundation.
