Fashion Week Cleveland

Fashion Week Cleveland was an annual fashion industry event held in Cleveland, Ohio which began in 2002 and ran 15 years until 2017. The event was founded to promote downtown development by Donald Shingler and was run in conjunction with the Cleveland Fashion Institute.

History
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. As such, this event is recognized as the showcase for emerging American fashion designers. Designers such as MoMo Falana (designer for Sex and the City) and Wendy Pepper have been featured in past events. In 2017 after a 15 year run, the Fashion Week Cleveland series of shows was discontinued in favor of another fashion event by the organizer.
