NOVA Fashion Week

So what do ya know, the DC area has a fashion week!

NOVA Fashion Week

I am kind of excited about this, yes? It's March 21-March 27, 2010.

The event location is at the Waterfront Park in Old Town Alexandria (King Street metro stop less than a mile away-Blue and Yellow lines. There will be a trolley that takes you directly to the event location).

The schedule includes a total of what looks like 9 Designer Runway shows throughout the week (most on opening and closing Days: Sunday, March 21st and Saturday, March 27), a "Celebrity Charity Event," and a Free Designer Trunk Show and Networking Event on Thursday night (March 25-7 pm).

They seem to throw around the word "celebrity" quite a bit, but I can't imagine anyone more famous than the asinine "stars" from the recently canceled CW show, Blonde Charity Mafia will be there, along with some other obscure z-listers from the DC social scene.

The event seems fun, nonetheless. The designers showcasing all work locally. They give BIOs on the event website.

TSYNDYMA, Walish Gooshe, and Tashia Senn are the ones I'd like to see. And the trunk show/networking engagement on Thursday night seems like a worthwhile event.

Anyway, it's great to see more fashion and style events coming to the area. So much of the city still seems bereft of style, but with efforts like this, eventually that will change.

Can't wait!
