Fashion Week Sets Dates for Fall 2010
Philadelphia, PA—(March, 2010) CMK Entertainment announced dates for the 2010 Philadelphia Fashion Week, running October 6th through 9th at the 23rd Street Armory (23rd Street, between Market and Chestnut Streets). The second annual event has been lengthened by one day and will showcase the collections of area students and emerging, local, national, and international designers. Retailers will set up pop-up shops again this year to offer attendees the opportunity to take some runway-ready looks home.
Charlie Smith (Lucca Photography), Michael Anderer (DERELICTE inc), and Kristie Bergey (The KB Experience) make up CMK Entertainment, the group responsible for the production of Philadelphia Fashion Week. They expect approximately 30 designers to show this year, an increase over their inaugural ’09 show. Pulling from a broader spectrum of designers, CMK hopes to have a global reach, while keeping Philadelphia talent on the forefront. Designers hailing from Brazil, Amsterdam, and London are already committing to the fall ’10 show.
“This year, Philadelphia Fashion Week is all about showcasing a new level of local talent as well as broadening the reach to have an international scope,” says Kristie Bergey, a partner with CMK Entertainment. “We want this show to prove that Philadelphia is an up-and-coming fashion destination deserving of recognition.”
Philadelphia Fashion Week is open to the public and will sell tickets online and by phone starting in June, 2010. Tickets will be available through advance purchase only.
With this event, CMK offers the opportunity to see fashions from around the globe as well as gain exposure to the wealth of cultural experiences that makes Philadelphia a hub for the arts. There will be a roster of DJs, musical entertainment, dance performances, and celebrity emcees performing between shows to offer an experience that spans the art, fashion, and music worlds.
“Rather than exclusively offering fashion, we’re seeking to make Philadelphia Fashion Week a cultural experience,” says Michael Anderer. “Between fashion shows, guests will enjoy video and art installations, musical and dance performances, and gourmet cuisine. They will also be able to buy similar looks shown on the runway from local retailers available on site."
