It's that time of season again. When designers and their teams are near ready to present their collections for Spring and Summer. The exciting thing is that in recent years it's become a nation wide celebration of talent with fashion week events spurring across the U.S. There are many fashion weeks throughout the world but, today, I am just focusing on fashion weeks in the U.S.
Most fashion weeks show twice per year in September and February. September collections feature the upcoming Spring/Summer collections and February features Fall/Winter collections.
The excitement is definitely on the runway for apparel designers to showcase their collections but, off the runway there are opportunities for accessories designers to have a table or booth exhibit (check with your local organizer). I participated last year at Washington, D.C.'s fashion week where as an accessory designer, I not only had a table display, I was able to sell my items to a fashion savvy crowd.
Local fashion weeks are great for everyone to see talent that they may have never heard of before this includes designers and hair and make up stylists. Some fashion weeks also draw international designers. It's normally a fun and festive atmosphere where fashion, art and music come together for a spectacular show. These are professional shows with some bearing major advertiser sponsorship.
The grandmother of all of the shows is New York Fashion Week which dates back to 1943 when it used to be called "Press Week" (for more details: Press Week)

I really like your blog. I don't spend a lot of time on fashion blogs ( I just started reading blogs and writing my own last month) but I will be back.
