Many have tried to create a Fashion Week in Dallas and all have failed. Until last year, that is, when Austin Fashion Week creator, Matt Swinney, swooped into town with a mini-version of this big dream. Fashion X Dallas was a smash and I am thrilled to once again be on the Host Committee for this year's haute happenings! From Thursday, September 10th to Saturday, September 12th, Fashion X Dallas will showcase collections from independent and emerging designers and nationally recognized contemporary brands at FIG (1807 Ross Ave.) in Downtown Dallas. “Fashion X Dallas 2014 was such a resounding success and we are incredibly excited to bring it back in 2015,” says Matt Swinney, Founder of Fashion X Dallas. “Dallas, as a mecca for style and fashion, is the perfect city for established and emerging designers to showcase their collections. With quality production, we hope to give Dallas a 'fashion week' it has always deserved."
One of the main goals of Fashion X Dallas is to support emerging and local talent through a program dubbed the Dallas Fashion Fund. Partnering with BERNINA of America, Dallas Fashion Fund will provide one local designer with grants in products and services to help expand their careers and strengthen the Dallas fashion industry.
