Press Pen: Fashion X Dallas

Dear Pennies & Pens,

Some of you may remember that last year, I attended and covered Fashion X Dallas. Fashion X Dallas is one of Dallas’ premier fashion events. It’s a three night event featuring emerging designers from Dallas, NYC, LA, and more. Last year’s event was super fabulous and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Check out my interviews with the participating designers here: Fashion X Dallas Interviews.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this year as I was out celebrating my birthday. My BFF flew in from Washington, D.C. to surprise me so I couldn’t make the event. However, I still wanted to feature the event because I will be moving to Dallas in just a few months so I want to support local events. Since I was able to get a press release from Droese PR, I have included an event recap below.

Fashion X Dallas was hosted by the producers of Austin Fashion Week and the Fashion Industry Gallery. This year’s designers included Fabio Costa, Melissa Fleis, Daniel Esquival, Gunnar Deatherage, Amanda Valentine, Sonjia Williams, Sean Kelly, Michelle Lesniak, Spire the Label, Mysterious by NPN, Darlene Araiza, Caycee Black, Aftershock, This Is Sloane, Chalina Couture, Ferrah, Altana Danzhalova, Nine Muses, Batch No. 8, Smith II, Abi Ferrin, Need Edition, Foremost, Edo Popken, Stephen Goudeau, Bentley and Lace, Tinsley Radix, and Vintage Martini.

The STARS kick-off night, presented by Bernina, showcased eight notable designers from Lifetime’s hit television series Project Runway. The following evening, emerging designers from around the country showcased their talent at DISCOVER.

Fashion X concluded with the FINALE, a celebration of the local design talent in DFW. The Dallas Fashion Fund was awarded to one emerging DFW designer.

The Gallery, an assortment of pop-up shops featured over forty stunning jewelry and accessories lines including Vintage Martini’s “Formals and Furs,” Blaine Bowen, BonBon, and Charlotte Max, opened pre- and post-show each night.

Fashion X Dallas was launched in 2014. Fashion X Dallas is the result of the collaboration between Matt Swinney, founder of Austin Fashion Week, and Fashion Industry Gallery (FIG) Chief Executive Officer, Matt Roth.

The event showcases local DFW designers, emerging talent and well-known designers, including some from Lifetime’s hit TV show Project Runway All Stars™.

Overall, it seems that Fashion X Dallas was another smashing success! Congrats to all the designers, models, participants, and the event’s producers. See you next year! Visit Fashion X Dallas to learn more: fashionxdallas.com
