Congratulations to the final designers chosen to participate in this year’s Eighth Annual West 18th Street Fashion Show, Summer at Sea!
Including eleven new designers to the West 18th Street Fashion Show, these final designers beat out the fiercest competition we’ve EVER seen. To better represent KC, the first annual Designers Selection Committee– a panel of stylish and fashion-forward Kansas Citians– chose this year’s final designers. (The Designer Selection Panel’s credentials include: boutique ownership, hair styling, fashion modeling, fashion designing, interior decorating, costume designing, and fashion show production.)
Our most sincere thanks go out to EVERY SINGLE person and team that submitted applications to be involved in this year’s event. It was hard to turn away such talent; we wish we could represent every aspiring and working designer out there.
Thanks to all for your support!
