There are a few things we expect to see at fashion week: a catwalk, models, fancy clothes, designers, fashion editors, bloggers, and amazing after-parties. So, it was a breath of fresh air when I heard about Cairo Fashion Week. The goal of CFW, which kicks off today, is to be the bridge between different brands and labels in the industry; it is a week long event aimed to bring local designers, retailers, buyers, fashion houses and the general public together.
In addition to showcasing fashion, fashion accessories, jewelry, home textiles, and furniture, from different labels, CFW will also host beauty workshops, where different types of techniques, new beauty products, and the latest beauty trends will be discussed to professional and amateur makeup artists, alike.
You can learn more about the different brands and labels on Cairo Fashion Week’s official site.
unfortunately that site has been around since March 2011 as far as I know and has not been updated except for the year. I have tried contacting them before to find out if there is any progress with the project and no response. As exciting as the proposition of a cairo fashion week is, unfortunatley it is not happening any time soon. You should be interested to know though, that on Friday the 16 there was a big fashion event in Cairo. The Cairo Fashion Festival http://www.facebook.com/CairoFashionFestival?fref=ts
ReplyDeletealso coming up in December there is Pashion magazines Cairo's `Fashion Night. http://www.facebook.com/events/275851975851342/.
If you wanna stay up to date on the Cairo fashion scene, I would recommend you check out and follow Cairo Fashion Report http://www.facebook.com/CairoFashionReport
I was going to do an update on CFW and came across the same thing; the site now says CFW 2013. LOL How odd. I'm going to do an update on the festival, instead, on our Facebook. Hopefully there will be a fashion week in 2013. Fingers crossed!
