IN FASHION Presented by Midtown Shopping Centre
“Explore and learn top trends, styles, and looks”
Also known as fashion insiders heaven - IN FASHION is an up close and personal showcase of the trends, styles and looks by retailers for fall 2023. The must-have women’s, men’s and children’s trends are available in Midtown Shopping Centre retailer storefronts. There will be sessions with live fashion shows running throughout the day.
Retailers showcasing in this year’s Fashion Weekend each present their own fashion perspective, creating a dynamic and intriguing collective for the public to enjoy. SFW encourages everyone to take in this ‘ode’ to the fashion festival lineup as we encapsulate international trends and available fashions right here in Saskatchewan.
SFA Conference
“Educating and exposing the Marketing and Fashion Industry in Saskatchewan”
Educating business professionals not just in the fashion industry, but in Marketing, PR, Communications, and Entrepreneurship, Saskatchewan Fashion Association Inc is hosting an educational element during the festival! Focusing on business development in areas such as “Branding OUT of the Box”, “Business banking in's and out's for the small business owner and entrepreneur with Q&A”, “Sell More Stuff: How to best use your marketing dollars to grow your business” and “Realizing your dreams by navigating a strategic and purposeful journey”; this is a weekend that is open to all professionals who want to expand their knowledge in marketing.
This conference benefits everyone, including those in a marketing firm or own your own business, photography, creative industry, event industry, music industry or fashion industry.
Also featured is a day of fashion industry focus for designers, boutiques, models and photographers to advance their knowledge and business by established stylists, merchandisers, photographers, modeling agencies and business owners.
We are proud to offer our international speaker’s series during our Marketing Business Development as well as Fashion Industry Development workshops.
SFW Marketplace in The Studio at Midtown
“Designer and Artisan Indoor Market”
Shop local throughout the festival weekend. This collaboration of local artisans is the perfect place to buy the beautiful work of our Saskatchewan based designers. The event features a variety of pop up shops of handmade, custom and designer clothing, accessories, and jewelry.
Jack Millikin Centre Saskatchewan Wearable Art Gala
“Dream it, build it, show it”
This Wearable Art Show and Gala promises to be an evening unlike any other held Saturday September 30 2023!
Artists from around the world are invited to submit works of wearable art to be unveiled in a fabulous fashion show setting. The only constraint is that submitted works of art HAS TO BE WEARABLE. This is an opportunity for artists to unbridle their imagination and to explore materials and processes not normally used in the construction of clothing (or art, for that matter).
The 6th Saskatchewan Wearable Art Gala is NOT about “fashion” nor is it about “clothing”, it is all about creating a new approach to what is worn on the body. Artists are encouraged to try something different, to free their mind and let their creativity run wild!
SFA Runway
“High caliber Event including Fashion, Art, Music, Visual Designs, and Dance”
Saskatchewan Fashion Association Inc will produce an evening of art and culture. Imagine world-class entertainment, imaginative fashion, and exquisite décor in an immersive experience unlike anything you’ve seen. The evening will consist of live music, a runway presentation, dance and art installations to ensnare the senses.
Experience world-class production, show-stopping visuals, and contemporary fashion held within Midtown Shopping Centre after hours. Saskatchewan Fashion Association Inc will present fall collections with all the luxury expected of an international fashion capital.
Guests can always expect to be entertained via the unique talents of local designers, boutiques, and visual artists. Sunday October 1 2023 will be a unique showcase of designers and boutiques from Saskatchewan with a combination of men and women's collections.
Ticketing options range from the front row VIP experience, including a luxury swag bag, to the social atmosphere of general admission and for those who just want a taste of the action, the standing room area is perfect for just that.
Overdressed does not exist at SFA Runway! If ever there was an opportunity to let your eccentric, fashionable self out for a night this would be it. We suggest wearing your favourite, fashion forward ensemble or that vintage item that is too special to wear just anywhere.
The evening will showcase live music, dance and intriguing art installations that will have our guests mesmerized.
