If you think you need to be in New York or Milan to experience what’s happening in fashion innovations, think again. FashioNXT, Portland’s premiere fashion forward show, brings together fashion and technology in four days of runway shows and designer showcases.

Deemed by Mayor Charlie Hales as Portland’s Official Fashion Week, FashioNXT 2015 will feature local and international designers, including Project Runway winners and Portland designers Michelle Lesniak and Seth Aaron, Portland designers Mondo Guerra and Viktor Luna, and a host of other designers from North America, Colombia, the Philippines, and China.

Beginning October 8th, FashioNXT will spotlight how the rapid evolution of technology has merged with fashion by revealing the winner of its Wearable Technology Fashion Competition, presented by Digital Trends.

Following this progressive multi-faceted trend, FashioNXT is also a clean-energy and water-neutral event, courtesy of Bonnieville Environmental Foundation.

FashioNXT 2015 will take place October 7 - October 10, at Station Place in the Pearl District. For more information and tickets, click HERE.
