Delray Beach Fashion Week 2018
A combination of fashion, beauty, and art meld together around this time every year in celebration of of the talented individuals and businesses that make up the beautiful city of Delray Beach. Delray Beach Fashion Week is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year with 5 jam-packed days of fashion shows, fun and of course, shopping!
Delray Beach Fashion Week started back in 2013 and the popularity has grown year after year. This year is a super special one, as it is the 5th anniversary AND Heather, my co-host from SoFlo Moms on the Go, and I are going live from the stage on opening night – January 24th at 8 pm EST.
A little side story before I tell you all about the events that make up DBFW…Heather and I met at Fashion Week back in 2016. We soon became great friends and launched SoFlo Moms on the Go (our Facebook LIVE show) shortly after! In 2017 we went live from Fashion Week and this year we are honored to help spread the word about it and go live from the stage!
Delray Beach Fashion Week is offering a really cool ticket package – the VIP pass – which for only $165 gives you front row seating at all fashion shows (see show schedule below), as well as access to all receptions, luncheon and a signature Amanda Perna tote (valued at $150).
“We are thrilled to be hosting this award-winning and special event again this year, ” said Laura Simon, Executive Director, DDA. “Delray Beach Fashion Week is a unique, fun and all-encompassing opportunity to share with our local residents and visitors the fashion and beauty that is found right here in Downtown Delray Beach.”
