Designers featured in the Philadelphia Fashion Week

"Philadelphia Fashion Week is committed to supporting designers sold in our city," said Michael Anderer, creative director of Philadelphia Fashion Week, partner of CMK Entertainment and head buyer for Matthew Izzo. "There will be runway shows of local designers like Commonwealth Proper, but because we wanted this event to be accessible for everyone-designers and guests-we opened up the criteria to any designer based or sold in our city."
