19 Reasons To Attend Phoenix Fashion Week

The fashion season is definitely in full effect! With the 2017 Phoenix Fashion Week event just days away, this year's designers are in overdrive making sure their collections are on point. Traditionally held in beautiful Scottsdale AZ at the swanky Talking Stick Resort, Phoenix Fashion Week boasts to being the hottest runway show in the Southwest. Our sunny desert is going to heat up with some serious fashions. 

15 emerging designers adorned by the 4 accessory designers are taking stage to bring us their very best. They will all be vying for Designer of the Year. We got an even better look at each designer at the #PhxFW Shop Garment District show. But first we mixed and mingled with designers and party goers.
