Welcome to the 12th Annual FashioNXT Week
Placed #1 in the Forbes Magazine list of US City Fashion Weeks, recognizing our decade-long service to elevate fashion creatives, technology 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 that also encompasses leading edge technology, including curated Artifical Intelligence applications that enhance the capabilities of fashion creatives and business processes rather than taking away from them, and a develop a more sustainable future.
Extraordinary fashion and technology designers from all over the world — Project Runway superstars, Hollywood celebrity designers, and top regional designers are joining the best of Portland in a world-class experience ideal for engaging the patrons, media, social media, and celebrities. FashioNXT utilizes such attention-drawing power to elevate the city by shining a bright light on it, elevating the city’s image as the center for creative excellence and leading the way in rejuvenating the city.
FashioNXT programs are designed to develop the industry eco-system. The shows are designed to connect the designers with the patrons and industry 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 fashion and tech 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 9th-11th, enjoy your experience of What’s Next in Fashion.
