Austin Fashion Week Kickoff: August 14, 2010

The Austin Fashion Week Kickoff event will feature teams of incredibly talented Austinites working together to create over-the-top runway looks. We’ll have a photographer, designer, hair stylist, makeup artist and model focus on creating one mind-boggling look for a massive photo shoot and runway show. This is a show you WILL NOT want to miss.

Austin Fashion Week: August 15-20, 2010

Like last year, Austin Fashion Week will feature hundreds of events occurring all week at local boutiques and salons. Check out fantastic designer pairings with each retail and salon location. Runway shows, trunk shows, cocktail parties and more dotted all throughout our fair city.

Austin Fashion Awards & After Parties: August 21, 2010

Voting will open a couple of weeks prior to Austin Fashion Week and each of you will be able to vote for your fashion favorites through FashionWeekAustin.com. Then, on August 21, you can join us to see all the winners crowned against a live music / fashion backdrop. We’ll all head over to the official after parties and finish the week off right!
