North America Fashion Week returns to Renton to celebrate fashion and diversity, featuring designers from India, Asia, and locals from Washington State.

Founders of NAFW Menka and Ashish Soni are very excited to produce this event in person after a hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. North America Fashion Week will take place in grand ballroom at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington, Renton on September 16 -19.

Tickets: https://www.northamericafashionweek.com/tickets

Here is what Menka has to say: "Although 2020’s fashion week was held entirely online, this season promises to provide a unique experience, as we see a return to physical catwalk shows. As we are slowly opening and getting back to normal, there are still few who prefer online and digital experience. So along with physical catwalk, many brands will be allowed a purely digital presentation meaning you can have front row access to North America fashion week from the comfort of your own home. We are now accepting applications from designers to participate either in person or virtual. Please register at www.northamericafashionweek.com or email at info@northamericafashionweek. com.”

This is a fundraising event from 501c(3) non-profit AmPowering with the purpose to raise funds for their humanitarian projects to benefit homeless neighbors. Visit www.ampowering.org for more details on the projects.

NAFW is produced and in partnership with the City of Renton to encourage multicultural fashion for our community as well as to create awareness for the mission of AMpowering https://ampowering.org  a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for their humanitarian projects to benefit homeless neighbors.

NAFW has also partnered with Swedish Medical as the models will be healthcare professionals to commemorate their heroic efforts in supporting our community during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NAFW has also partnered with the minority owned and women owned business, Maritza’s Beauty College and Ena Vative Studio to provide all of the hair and makeup stylists. These professionals are men and women from the BIPOC community who are very excited to be a part of North America Fashion Week!
