Aspen Fashion Week

Aspen Fashion Week (AFW), (later Aspen International Fashion Week (AIFW)), was a series of annual end of winter fashion week events held in Aspen, Colorado. The weeklong event included outdoor après-ski fashion shows, retail and boutique events and parties.

History
The event was founded by Lisa Johnson in 2008. In 2011, tickets to the event cost $1,500. The 2012 event began with a stunt skydiver performance by a local Aspen extreme athlete.

Rebrand
Weeks before the scheduled event in 2013, Aspen Fashion Week announced a cancellation. After a financial dispute and then lawsuit between organizers and local modeling agency Wilhelmina Denver, the show was taken over by the agency under the new name; Aspen International Fashion Week. The rebranded event was held from March 13 to 16, 2014. The event has not returned since.
