The West 18th Street Fashion Show celebrates its golden birthday this Saturday

This Saturday, June 9, marks the 18th annual West 18th Street Fashion Show, which makes this year its golden birthday (or something like that). Tickets are available here. 

The theme this year is “Summer Migration.” According to the event’s organizers, “We ask designers to present us with their heritage, their history, and to re-contextualize the garments of their ancestors. We ask them to please open their door, set an extra plate at the table, present us with the intimate stories of their culture.” The full list of designers (several are pictured above) is here. 

The show starts at 8 p.m. and is held on 18th Street between Baltimore and Wyandotte Streets. More info here.
