Delray Beach, FL (January 12, 2016)...Calling all fashionistas! Celebrate spectacular fashion, local designers and unique boutiques during Delray Beach Fashion Week from January 16–23, 2016. The styles, designs and diverse fashions found in Downtown Delray Beach will take center stage with fashion Shows, runway events, a designer showcase, beauty clinics, a hair show, and shopping. New highlights for 2016 include:

This week long event created by the Downtown Development Authority and the local downtown merchants has been designed to generate an awareness of Downtown Delray’s boutiques, designers, salons and other retailers. Fashion Week is an opportunity for many of the Downtown businesses to showcase their merchandise, designs, and create in-store events. The committee includes: Jule Guaglardi, Owner, Roxy Lulu; Jelena Loverich, Owner LoveRich Boutique, Margaret Doerrer, Owner, Margaux Riviera; Mary Ann Brown, Master Stylist, In the Grove Hair Salon; and Glavidia Alexis, Owner, Glavidia’s Hair Studio.
“A focus of the DDA is to market and promote the downtown businesses to drive economic growth - and what a fantastic way to do it!“ We are very proud to have the opportunity once again to share with the local residents and visitors to Delray Beach the unique mix of downtown retail fashion, local designers, and accessories, all within a 12 block radius,” said Laura Simon, Executive Director, DDA.
Events will take place throughout the week both in-store and on the runway. Many of the events are free to the public, but runway seating will be at a ticketed price which is a donation to our local charities including Achievement Centers for Children and Families and Rapunzel Project.
All Downtown Delray Beach businesses are invited to participate by hosting events, showcasing designs at the runway shows, collaborating with other businesses including art galleries, restaurants, wine bars, hotels, etc., and promoting Delray Beach Fashion Week to customers.
