Fashion Week Cleveland was an annual fashion industry event held in Cleveland, Ohio which began in 2002[1] and ran 15 years until 2017.[2][3] The event was founded to promote downtown development by Donald Shingler and was run in conjunction with the Cleveland Fashion Institute. [4]

History

The event is the third-largest fashion show of its kind in the United States behind only New York Fashion Week and Los Angeles Fashion Week.[5] As such, this event is recognized as the showcase for emerging American fashion designers.[4] Designers such as MoMo Falana (designer for Sex and the City) and Wendy Pepper have been featured in past events.[2] In 2017 after a 15 year run, the Fashion Week Cleveland series of shows was discontinued in favor of another fashion event by the organizer.[3]
