Kansas City Fashion Week is finally here. From local designers to models to influencers, this week of events is star studded with Kansas Citians who all have one thing in common: a love for fashion.

Get the party started

The annual week kicked off on Saturday, March 4 with the Bubbly and Bow Ties cocktail party at Kansas City Club. On Sunday, March 5, the KCFW Gallery Collections: Designer Presentations opened — an immersive fashion gallery that shows each designer’s creative direction and brings the designs to life. The gallery is open through Saturday, March 11.

“Our gallery opening was a huge success, and I foresee this event only growing in the future.” said KCFW President Teisha Barber.
