A Different Way
To Fashion Week.
Milwaukee Fashion Week is more than just an event. It is a Fashion HUB, a bridge to other regional fashion organizations, and a local fashion incubator. Milwaukee Fashion Week showcases the best of fashion in Milwaukee and surrounding regions with the first-ever full week of fashion events taking place in September.
You can join a panel discussing today’s fashion ecosystem, enjoy VIP at the runway shows featuring professionals, students, and high school designers and brands, experience some of Milwaukee’s top venues transformed into fashion runways, and connect with our local community of creatives.
Whether you are in the fashion industry or just love fashion, you will find a place to network and grow at MFW. We celebrate the cultural diversity and creativity of Milwaukee and its surrounding areas.
