Portland Fashion Week 2007 was the first fashion week in the world which was produced all-green. Sixteen nationally and internationally known eco-designers among the thirty five independent designers showed their Spring/Summer 2008 collections on the first ever bamboo runway. Eco-friendly styling products, sustainable gift-bags, energy efficient LED lighting, Polartec recycled-fabric for event-draping, exclusively organic food and wine, recycled paper for all printing, all sustainable furniture and carpet for VIP lounge ... everything was green in Portland Fashion Week 2007. Even the hotel, shuttle and airline partners were leaders in green business practice.
Portland Fashion Week benefits Willamette River Keeper, dedicated to restoration of fish and wildlife habitat in the Willamette river.
Portland Fashion Week 2008 will take place in October. We are accepting applications from sponsors, designers, press and buyers.
