Boston Fashion Week 2007!

[Pong]

Wasn't quite sure where to post this or if it had already been posted but:

After a brief hiatus Boston Fashion Week is back, and better than ever! The week has been scheduled for September 7-14, 2007. So, mark your calendars now and SAVE THE DATES!

The School of Fashion Design recently hosted the launch with over four dozen industry leaders representing many different fashion disciplines including design, beauty, photography, modeling, education, retail, production, music and technology to name a few.

Organizers are moving forward with an exciting new plan that offers something for everyone. Exciting runway shows will of course be an expected part of the week but innovative new programming will also include fashion films, red carpet premieres, shopping opportunities, fashion art installations and informative educational events.

Technology will also play a major role. A completely renovated official Boston Fashion Week website will be launched later this month. The redesign will allow greater access and interactivity.
