Who are we?

Fashion Design and Art Week (FDAW) is a 5-day fashion event contending an extensive boost in Virginia's fashion market, with the ultimate goal of building Virginia as a new fashion capital. FDAW bridges the gap between buyers, consumers and members of the media/press to view upcoming collections from Virginia (and around the world) native designers.
