DC Fashion Week events

Jess Righthand  |  Updated 09/24/2012

While New York is undoubtedly an epicenter of fashion, Washington has its own distinct style that's not just about New York and not just about Brooks Brothers and Ann Taylor. D.C. fashion can be funky. It can be loud. And it will be front and center when DC Fashion Week kicks off Monday (and unofficially on Saturday, at the H Street Festival). Over the course of the next week, about 50 designers will show spring looks for both work and play. The designers hail from Nigeria, India and Thailand, as well as from Washington. Many have shown their creations at fashion weeks in New York and Miami, and others are just now arriving on the local fashion scene.

What is this toolbar at the bottom of my screen?
It's a new way to save your ideas about places to go and shows to see in Washington, and it can help you find things to do with your friends.
See something interesting?
Click on the I want to go button to add it to your Want to go list. The number on the button shows how many people want to go. If you're signed in with a Facebook account, your friends can see where you'd like to go.
Already been there?
If you have been to a place or event already, click the I've been there button to add it to your Been there list. The number shows how many people have been there. If you're signed in with a Facebook account, your friends can see where you've been.
Where are my lists?
The things you add to your Want to go and Been there lists will be saved for you. Click on your username anytime to view your list and see all those ideas.
When you want to keep your plans private, turn off the sharing toggle. You'll be able to save items to your lists without sharing them on Facebook.
Why should I sign in with Facebook?
It can help you make plans with friends for things to do together. When you share your Want to go and Been there lists with your Facebook friends, it's easy to see when you and your friends want to go to the same place.
