Delray Beach Fashion Week - 2021 Style
How are we supposed to enter a new year and celebrate season in South Florida without the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA)’s Delray Delray Beach Fashion Week, and we are so excited to report that they have recreated it all for us this year, with the 9TH ANNUAL DELRAY BEACH FASHION WEEK REIMAGINED FOR 2021 February 24 – 28, 2021. We can’t believe it’s been 9 years since the Delray DDA graced the city with such a great event, and COVID-19 was not going to get in the way of it this year. This 9th annual event will feature a variety of fashion-focused experiences set in open-air environments following all safety guidelines related to COVID-19.
More than ever, it’s more important to bring awareness to all of the amazing local businesses that Delray Beach has to offer, and we couldn’t be happier to help and be a part of it. During Delray Beach Fashion Week you can expect trends and styles available throughout Downtown Delray Beach.
It just wouldn’t be the same without Delray Beach Fashion Week, and we’re so grateful that the hard-working team at the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) were able to figure out a way to make it happen and keep everyone safe and fashionable.
“The annual Delray Beach Fashion Week will look and feel a little different this year due to COVID-19,” said Laura Simon, Executive Director, Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA). We have redesigned the week of events to be in line with the needs of the community and to continue to provide a true fashion experience as we showcase and support the many small business retailers throughout downtown Delray Beach. Masks will be required to be worn at all events, as well as following CDC Guidelines including social distancing and providing hand sanitizer stations," she added. The DDA and downtown merchants are proud to produce this award-winning event reimagined for its ninth year and look forward to sharing with our residents and visitors’ fashion, beauty, and fun!”
Remember when we were two of the hosts?
