My Everyday Couture

The week of fashion, style, art and design will be held from November 1-6, 2010. Fashionistas, artists and industry experts will host a variety of galas, events, shows and learning opportunities throughout the first week of November.

The fashion showcases can be enjoyed by audiences of all types. Themes include “The Fashion Week San Antonio Kick Off Party at the Palladium,” “Couture on a Budget,” “Fashiontini,” and of course the pinnacle event, the “Going Green Gala,” among others. The week allows fashion designers and creative minds to display their latest garments and collections in runway shows and provides an opportunity for fashionistas and buyers to take a look at the latest trends.

The Going Green Gala and Rising Star Fashion Industry Awards will cap off Fashion Week 2010 with an array of amazing designs made of recyclable materials, and local Fashionistas will be recognized during the Rising Stars Awards.  Information regarding ticket purchases can be found on the Fashion Week website at fashionweeksa.com.
