Latino Fashion Week is just days away and we cannot contain our excitement over the array of talent that will descend upon our city. Next week, beginning October 1st through the 5th, international designers as well as local celebrities, fashion bloggers, makeup artists, will grace us with their presence to share insight into their industry, their latest collection, and tips on how to live a happier life with style.
Now in its seventh year, the theme this year is The Journey, meant to celebrate the milestones and accomplishments of LFW since its inception. LFW will include runway shows, celebrity appearances, VIP receptions, fashion lounges and markets, and so much more. We’ve included just a tad of what’s to be expected during Latino Fashion Week.
