Portland Fashion Week, the Sundance of Fashion Weeks, is the 3rd oldest fashion week series in the United States, TIME ™ Magazine’s “BEST Indie Fashion Week in the USA since 2012, and the only carbon-negative fashion week in the world as outlined by The Huffington Post. From top-of-the-line eco-chic fashion experiences to our support for the local fashion community and the community, it’s no wonder Portland Fashion Week is on the “Top 100 Things to Do Before You Die” Portland Bucket List.

The driving force of Portland Fashion Week is the philosophy of “Slow Fashion”. This revolutionary perspective is founded on non-impulsive buying, using awareness as the basis for understanding the quality and value of clothing and its origination. Therefore, Portland Fashion Week believes sustainable practices, including reducing, reusing and recycling, will fully encompass all of the aforementioned values associated with slow fashion. This standard Portland Fashion Week has been adopted in all aspects of production, community support, educational programs, and designer selection. Thanks to these philosophies, they've had more Project Runway alum show at Portland Fashion Week than LA and NY combined.
