Fashion Week Cleveland was an annual fashion industry event held in Cleveland, Ohio which began in 2002[1] and ran 15 years until 2017.[2][3] The event was founded to promote downtown development by Donald Shingler and was run in conjunction with the Cleveland Fashion Institute. [4]
History
[edit | edit source]The first edition was a private event organized by the cosmetic dentist Donald Shingler.[5]
The event is the third-largest fashion show of its kind in the United States behind only New York Fashion Week and Los Angeles Fashion Week.[6] As such, this event is recognized as the showcase for emerging American fashion designers.[4] Designers such as MoMo Falana (designer for Sex and the City) and Wendy Pepper have been featured in past events.[2]
In the midst of the subprime mortgage crisis, the 2010 edition was much lighter to adjust to the decrease in fashion spending.[7] In 2014, Nichole Reed was named artistic director of the event.[8] In 2017 after a 15 year run, the Fashion Week Cleveland series of shows was discontinued in favor of the new one-night event GlamJam Fashion & Music Festival.[3]
A few Kent State University Fashion School students were also selected to display their creations.[5]
