Create your own event or experience that complements the spirit of Dayton Fashion Week, fostering connections and celebrating fashion. While traditional runway shows and fashion-related events are always welcome, we strongly encourage hosting networking-style gatherings to build meaningful relationships within the industry and beyond.
