Orange County Fashion Week announces dates

Orange County has officially announced its dates for this year’s fashion event. The community’s week-long event will start on next month on March 6.

The event will take place at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach. The fashion trade event takes place bi-annually in the city to bring together West Coast designers and buyers in one place. The show will span over four days and will be held as a variety of venues. After debuting at the Resort, the next day will take place at the Orange County Museum of Art at 7 p.m. The show will also take place at Soka University’s Founders Hall and at Lamborghini Newport Beach with individualized catwalks for a unique experience. The four-day event will include designers such as Olivia Barbaczy, Stefani Alvarado, Tatiana Shabelnik, Ionica Moldovianu, Coral Castillo, Chadia Almeddin, Neon Beige, and many more.

Currently, Orange County spends over 34 billion dollars in retail with a median household income above the national average. As the community is known for its expansive spending and luxury shopping, the fashion scene has grown over the years. South Coast Plaza, located in the county, had surpassed Rodeo Drive’s shopping by over 1.5 billion dollars. As an emerging fashion week, the spring event will take place from March 6-7 this year.
