Get ready for Fashion Week San Diego

By  | 

fashionweekFashion Week San Diego™ has officially announced their 2013 designer lineup and week agenda. This year Fashion Week San Diego has 26 designers, with the return of four 2012 runway veterans including A’Doreus, Dos Caras Swimwear, nOia by Evelyne and SYC Collection.

The San Diego Entertainer had the opportunity to mingle with bloggers and the designers themselves at La Jolla’s Roppongi Restaurant and Sushi Bar at FWSD’s first press conference. We previewed a few of the designers past collections giving us a taste of each designer’s aesthetic and talent. The actual spring and summer of 2014 collection will not be unveiled until Fashion Week officially starts as the designers are currently sketching and feverishly preparing for the main event.

While the show was a great way to introduce the emerging designers and showcase their talent, it was a great opportunity for the event’s creator to talk about the growing success of the project that started back in 2008.

Allison Andrews, the founder and director of Fashion Week, spoke with great pride and passion about the growing success of Fashion Week.  “Last year our biggest night saw about 1,800 people and this year we’re expecting 3,000 people every night.” The reason for the excelling growth and success is the overwhelming support from the community and the press.

FWSD4-modelSan Diego, let’s continue supporting our entrepreneurs. It’s a tough business and to be able to pursue your dreams and passion in what may be one of the toughest industries to excel in takes a tremendous about of strength, discipline and most importantly heart.

How can you show your support? Aside from attending the show the best way to show appreciation for a designer is to attend the trunk show on the last day Sunday, October 6th  and make a purchase.
