Pittsburgh Fashion Week is the brainchild of model and Pittsburgh native Miyoshi Anderson (Executive Director and Founder) and LaMont Jones (Assistant Director and Marketing Manager).
The introduction of Pittsburgh Fashion Week in 2010 will be a historical event, highlighting what makes ours a region of style as well as steel at a time when Pittsburgh is emerging as a world-class city. From Sept. 27 through Oct. 3, area fashion designers and retailers, industry insiders, and lovers of style and fashion will converge on the Sen. John Heinz History Center, the William Penn Hotel, and other venues in the Golden Triangle to enjoy an array of fashion-related events. With its unique pace of fashion shows around the city, Runway will strut a new style of fashion entertainment and become the Bryant Park of Pittsburgh. We'll witness the change in pace of fashion shows from around the city.
The seven-day event will feature internationally known fashion designers in showcase presentations, New York-style runway shows with VIP seating, a kick-off extravaganza and related parties. An indoor fashion fair will focus on local designers and fashion artisans. A "pink" fashion show will commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And Pittsburgh-rooted style icons will be inducted into a newly created Pittsburgh Fashion Hall of Fame.
