Homewood retailers to take part in Birmingham Fashion Week

Several Homewood retailers are participating in this year’s Birmingham Fashion Week 2014 scheduled for April 19-26 under the tents in Pepper Place downtown.

Over the course of the week, the runway shows will feature designs by emerging designers, rising star designers, select local retailers, featured designers, headlined by SW3 Bespoke and Rebecca Taylor along with 'Project Runway' stars, Joshua McKinley and Anthony Ryan Auld. Among those are Homewood’s Pure Barre and Soca and Homewood resident Heidi Smith, owner of Harold & Mod.

“With southern roots and big city fashion, we are taking our fourth year to the max by offering an additional night of runway shows, showing off local designers and true Alabama talent,” states Jeana Lee Thompson, co-Founder of Birmingham Fashion Week and owner of Bella Bridesmaid in Edgewood. “In addition, we will engage local retailers and their fashions each night, as well as designers from around the U.S.”

Tickets for runway shows are now on sale at bhamfashionweek.com/ticket. Prices range from $15 to $95 with assigned seating for all ticket holders.

Runway shows for BFW start at 7 p.m. and will all take place under a tent spanning 80 feet by 120 feet in Pepper Place.
