OUR STORY

Vision and Mission

Established in 2018, FPFWNE is Franklin County's inaugural annual event dedicated to celebrating fashion culture. This annual fashion showcase highlights influential figures in the industry while elevating diversity within New England's arts and culture scene. It fosters unique opportunities for cross-cultural exchange and builds relationships among fashion professionals locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Our event has united local, regional, and international designers for breathtaking runway shows, introducing new audiences and markets a region deeply committed to arts, culture, and the creative economy.

The Creatives

The team of international fashion experts behind FPFWNE’s creative excellence includes FAB’s founder Richie Richardson from Western Mass and New York, and close collaborators involved in fashion weeks in Brooklyn NY, the Caribbean and Montreal: Richard Young, Caribbean Fashion Impresario and Jerry Jordan Brown, Stylist & Co-Founder of Brooklyn Fashion Week.
