Guess what time of year it is? It’s time for the 7th Annual Delray Beach Fashion Week, one of our favorite weeks of the year in South Florida. If you’re a fashionista or simply looking for something fun and different to do the week of January 29 - February 2, Delray Fashion Week will give you just what you’re looking for.
The best part about Delray Beach Fashion Week is that most of the events are open to the public and you can purchase tickets for them. One of the main reasons we love Delray Fashion Week so much is because it supports local business and as a local business, we praise the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority for their commitment toward helping businesses in Delray Beach.
What’s even better than the concept of Delray Fashion Week itself is the theme this year. Give us football and give us Studio 54 and you will find Delray Beach’s Fashion Bowl “54” theme - two of our absolute favorite things!
The week will kick-off with a runway show and Studio 54 dance party on Atlantic Avenue as you can view the winning collections of designers during Art & Couture All-Stars featuring a fashion show and art experience. Our personal favorite event of Delray Fashion Week is ALWAYS the luncheon and the Halftime & High Heels Luncheon will showcase resort wear during a fashion show at Che Restaurant. Due to our prestigious cheerleading careers, neither of us are strangers to pep rallies, and the Old School Super Pep Rally Experience will include a free concert, pop-up fashion events, and tailgate games. There will also be a Shopping Day Blitz during the Shop the Runway boutiques event while you can celebrate Game Day 2020 on Sunday throughout downtown Delray with brunching, shopping and a community watch party.
