About

Baltimore Fashion Week, established in August 2008, is the city’s longest-running and most recognized runway event, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and diversity in fashion. Produced annually every August, the event serves as a distinguished platform where emerging and established designers present their collections before an engaged audience of fashion professionals, media, and enthusiasts.

More than a series of runway shows, Baltimore Fashion Week is a curated experience that highlights innovation and inclusivity within the fashion industry. Each season features exclusive showcases, networking events, and educational discussions designed to elevate creative talent while supporting participants' professional development.

As a flagship production under the Fashion Umbrella Foundation, Baltimore Fashion Week amplifies the organization’s mission to build opportunities in workforce development, arts, and entrepreneurship. Through intentional collaboration with local businesses, artists, and community partners, the event contributes to Baltimore’s cultural economy and positions the city as a growing hub for fashion and design.

For over a decade, Baltimore Fashion Week has remained committed to redefining representation—welcoming models of all backgrounds, sizes, and ages—while nurturing the next generation of industry professionals. It continues to shape Baltimore’s creative narrative, proving that fashion in this city is not just worn but lived, shared, and celebrated.
