Welcome to the 11th Annual FashioNXT Week
Placed #1 in the Forbes Magazine list of US Cities Fashion Weeks, recognizing our decade-long service to elevate fashion creatives, innovation, and sustainability.
From the executive producer of the fashion week that TIME Magazine places as #1 in the US outside of New York Fashion Week, FashioNXT Week showcases the experience of “What’s Next in Fashion”, and is recognized by Portland Mayor as the City’s Official Fashion Week. As in every October, this year FashioNXT Week is premiering the next season’s collections of extraordinary designers on the runway in an innovative fashion experience. Extraordinary fashion designers from all over the world are joining the best of Portland in a world-class experience ideal for engaging the patrons and the media.
FashioNXT utilizes the immersive fashion experience to elevate the fashion creatives and helps rejuvenate the industry and the city by shining a bright light on the city’s thriving creative offerings. Designers from all over the US — a Project Runway superstar from New York City, a top couturier from Seattle, and an emerging star from Denver are joining the best fashion talents from Portland elevating the city’s image as the center for creative excellence and leading the way of rejuvenating the city.
FashioNXT programs are designed to develop the industry eco-system. The shows are designed to connect the designers with the patrons to develop business more effectively and multi-pronged way than any fashion week in the country — a world-class fashion show with immersive brand-activation of the designers throughout the venue, a post-show market hour, booth exhibits, preceded and followed by media and digital engagements that amplify the brand throughout the target demography globally.
One of the most anticipated programs of FashioNXT Week is the runway finale of UpNXT emerging designers accelerator as FashioNXT brings industry experts and a powerful prize package to develop the next generation of talents. This year the UpNXT lineup is the strongest yet, which is extra-exciting as three of the UpNXT alums who catapulted to being established designers are back to show.
From Oct 3rd-5th, enjoy your experience of what’s next in fashion.
