After eight days of style brilliance in the Magic City, Birmingham
Fashion Week 2013 is a wrap. The third annual Birmingham Fashion Week took recently and
featured eight full days of fashion. This year BFW presented headlining
designers such as Tibi, Anthony Ryan, Heidi Elnora, and Prophetik by Jeff Garner. The event was held in Pepper Place and hosted by former Miss Alabama
USA and TV personality Tara Gray.
BFW was
founded in 2011 by Heidi Elnora and Jeanna Lee Flemming, to inspire the next
generation and to give Birmingham what they didn’t have growing up in the magic
city. They also are trying to promote inspiration and harmony within the
community.
Birmingham
Fashion Week is about more than fashion and a runway show. It’s a stage for
established designers, aspiring designers, hair stylists, makeup artists and
models to show their talent across a large audience. BFW aims to bring out the
talent in Alabama by giving fashion forward youth a chance at center stage.
Birmingham Fashion Week hosted a Rising Star Design competition, where middle
and high school students could express their vision. They where able to showcase
their imagination by using non-traditional garment items for an opportunity
they will grow from.
