I got really excited this morning because I just realized Aspen Fashion Week is happening this week, March 14-19! Being a fashion major, this really appeals to me, since I usually only hear about New York Fashion Week or events happening in big coastal cities. I think that having a High Fashion event here in a resort town is a perfect choice, with all the natural, mountainous landscape to contrast the fashions, instead of indoor, dark shows. High Fashion will definitely meet High Altitude this week in Aspen!
Chic designers are going to be showing at AFW include J Crew, Ralph Lauren, Helly Hansen, Obermeyer, and one of my newest favorites – Parajumpers. Aspen looks like the place to be with many new designers as well as well-established designers in attendance.
Fashion week isn’t limited to just clothing on a runway, other events that are happening during Aspen Fashion Week include:
Mountain Events (daily from noon-4)
Slopeside Runway/Snow Stage (daily 4-6)
In-Store Presentations (daily 6-8)
Featured Sponsor Events
Featured Designer Events
Film Screenings
FEED Foundation presents John Forte
Belly Up with Special Guest
After some research, by the looks of it, the 2nd Annual AFW will be an amazing week full of fashion events and mountain fun in a resort village!
