Uptown Fashion Week 2017 February

Uptown Fashion Week presents Latin American designers during New York Fashion Week. It’s produced by Dominican New Yorker Albania Rosario.

The established designers do their own thing, but the rest are sponsored by Uptown Fashion Week. The show supports the designers with the venue, travel, models, and styling. The production is very Latin.

Uptown Fashion Week February 2017

Uptown Fashion Week February 2017 is in the Grand Ballroom at the Skyline Hotel Tuesday-Wednesday, February 14-15, 2017. The event starts with a press conference on Monday, February 13.

Skyline Hotel
725 10th Avenue (between 49th & 50th St)
New York, NY 10019
(212) 586-3400

The shows are open to the public. You can buy general admission tickets at www.UptownFashionWeek.com

The September shows ran very, very late, so be prepared for that.
