By hosting a fashion show in a non-traditional venue like an aviation museum, "Fashion in Flight" merges art, culture, and design, creating a platform for local talent to showcase their creativity and craftsmanship. This collaboration highlights the sleek lines, engineering, and aesthetics of aviation as inspiration for the designers, adding a unique layer of sophistication to the runway and promotes education, innovation, and a rich history of aerospace exploration.
Attendees can expect an exceptional experience where the worlds of fashion and aviation intersect and are explored in a dynamic and imaginative way, celebrating innovation and diversity within the fashion industry. "Fashion in Flight" is set to make a lasting impression on the audience, elevating the traditional runway show into a one-of-a-kind event.
On this year's journey, “Fashion in Flight” will be accompanied by a vibrant band of Northwest’s designers, who are preparing an unforgettable experience for all travelers on board at The Museum of Flight: Armoire, Kimmi Designs, Point of View Label, Sandra Froher Spirit Essence, Soul Mates Bridal, and Tinarie Creations.
