Today is the day everyone has been waiting for.
The Nashville Fashion Week 2021 designer portfolios and runway show videos are NOW LIVE on the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Runway360 global platform! This is our first foray into producing an extensive digital program, but we can't wait for you to experience what these talented designers have been creating. Much gratitude to Middle Tennessee State University, our video production partner, for all of the hard work and dedication they poured into executing this programming.
You can view all of the designer runway shows, view their lookbooks and even shop their looks for FREE, but we encourage you to please consider making $20, or more if you can, a tax-deductible donation to the Nashville Fashion Forward Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help underwrite the production costs to create this digital programming and support our Nashville fashion community for years to come.
The future of Nashville Fashion Week depends on it.
We had a remarkable evening celebrating year eleven of Nashville Fashion Week with our VIP guests at The Westin Nashville and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum!
