ABOUT
Williamsburg Fashion Weekend continues to show the work of designers that have their fingers on the hip and now, with a nod to the past and wide-open eyes on the future. In this, our seventh season, we’ve assembled a group of over a dozen young designers who make one-of-a-kind garments or small-run collections, with an emphasis on fair-trade, eco-friendliness, and artisan techniques celebrating the handmade and the visionary. WFW provides a platform for emerging designers who display their collections in non-traditional formats from live music and dancers to choreographed mixed media extravaganzas. This season’s event will be held at Glasslands Gallery, located at 289 Kent Ave. Williamsburg, Brooklyn on September 17th and 18th. Doors open at 8pm. Entry is $8.
Arthur Arbit, founder and curator of WFW, has a passion for the unwavering, personal, take-no-prisoners aesthetic vision. A designer and fine artist himself, he is interested in combining all forms of performance art into his fashion shows.
