This fall marks the inaugural New Jersey Fashion Week, an innovative fashion week that allows emerging local designers and beauty professionals to showcase their skills to leading fashion industry influencers, beauty experts, potential buyers, and consumers. Held October 11–12, 2010 at the prestigious Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, New Jersey Fashion Week will include a competition with awards in runway, accessories, and hair artistry; a beauty bar; and a sponsor exhibition.
NJFW is a soon to be favorite annual state-wide event within New Jersey, during the month of October (breast cancer month) is also designed to celebrate health, wellness, and fashion and entrepreneurship among our fellow New Jerseys fashionable residents.
A generous portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure North Jersey Affiliate to support the fight against cancer.
The event is open to the public, and attendees will be invited to mingle with celebrity soap stars, athletes, New York and New Jersey fashion and beauty editors as well as notable celebrity stylists and personalities. Tickets can be purchased online at newjerseyfashionweek.com.
Donnella Tilery, owner of Donnella’s Closet and a fashion-focused entrepreneur initiated New Jersey Fashion Week as an opportunity to promote and support fledgling talent in a global, innovative fashion forum. Tilery partnered with Jack Panico, owner of Panico Salon & Spa and an influential celebrity hair and beauty expert, to offer a Hair Artistry Runway Showcase at the event.
In addition to highlighting beauty and fashion, New Jersey Fashion Week will benefit Susan G. Komen® for the Cure, donating a portion of the proceeds to the organization. The top-tier list of platinum sponsors from New York and New Jersey include the following: Lord & Taylor (offering New Jersey Fashion Week swag bags), Accessories magazine (judging the accessories competition), Bergio Diamonds (providing diamonds to be worn by Donnella Tilery), New Jersey Life Health & Beauty magazine. Fashion Group International (fgi.org) and the Accessories Council (www.acccessoriescouncil.org), both of New York, are part of the fast-growing roster of supporters.
