For the first time in a long time, Washington actually has a lot of fashion events going on during fashion week. For those that couldn’t make it to Bryant Park for designer shows, Tysons Galleria has got you covered. Tonight kicks off a three day fashion event, ALL ACCESS: FASHION, filled with exclusive runway shows, a huge soiree at Saks Fifth Avenue, a meet-and-greet with Project Runway’s Tim Gunn and some amazing fashion shows all to benefit YouthAIDS. Starting tonight, September 17, Tysons Galleria is granting access to world class shopping, partying and an industry panel.
Though many have gotten a glimpse into the fashion world via shows such as Project Runway few have had the experience of entering the tents to attend the shows and experience the true fashion frenzy. Imagine the excitement and energy of New York Fashion Week at Bryant Park at Tysons Galleria!
