Milwaukee Fashion Week is back for its third year since rebooting in 2022 – and this time, it’s expanding its programming beyond runway shows to also include master classes, a panel discussion and more. And, for the first time ever, it runs for an entire week.
“It’s absolutely amazing to provide a platform for the designers and really get Milwaukee excited about fashion,” says Francisca Rodriguez, president of the event. “What we’ve found is that continued education around fashion and resources is needed.”
