This year the Foundation is focusing its art component towards
youth by implementing the youth’s artistic vision onto the runway of the
Columbus Center. Usually during Baltimore
Fashion Week the runways are predominantly saturated with seasoned members representing
the fashion community. These emerging
designers [students] are the future of fashion and deserving of a place to speak
through the arts.
“For the past few years youth have been left by the wayside
and not really given a voice to express themselves. With this year’s theme “ART is ALIVE” for the
11th season of Baltimore Fashion Week we are extending our showcasing
invitation and opening our runway to youth in high schools while embracing their
view of fashion and style. We look
forward to their talent and identity displayed on the runways” stated Nixon,
Founder of the Fashion Umbrella Foundation.
