Park Avenue Fashion Week is a seven-day celebration of the local fashion retail and design community. For complete list of trunk shows, designer meet-and-greets, details on the Runway Show and tickets, visit www.parkavenuefashionweek.com

Each year, PAFW seeks out designers, design students and fashion aficionados to apply for the Emerging Designer Contest. This annual competition recognizes up-and-coming talent and challenges designers to a series of tasks to determine one winner that is announced the night of the main runway show.

Contestants will be asked to submit an application and sketches of their work, once chosen to compete in the Emerging Designer Competition, showcase three of their designs to an elite panel of judges followed with a Project Runway inspired challenge. Five semi-finalists will be announced at the Emerging Designer Fashion Show, then they will have to feature their Project Runway inspired challenge at the main runway show on October 17th. The winner will receive a month’s worth of showcasing in a PAFW boutique accompanied by a trunk show and professional photographs of their looks featured on the runway.

Children in costume can participate in this annual tradition the Saturday before Halloween.

Participating merchants will greet ghouls and goblins with seasonal treats.
