The programming was intentional and will
continue to be so. This year, expect a week
of programs that go from themes of housing
accessibility, consumerism, and sustainable
style to wearing what you own, giving back what
we no longer need, and textiles (with a focus on
natural fibers). By invitation of Wesleyan College,
wardrobe stylist and style educator Nikko Smith
will join us from Houston, Texas to with interactive
opportunitied with students, professionals, and the
public. MFW is building culture by engaging other
community organizations to join the conversation
to produce their own programs and bring their
own ideas, while allowing MFW to serve as the
convenor and once again featuring a finale designer
presentation in the Poplar Street median. Wesleyan
College Leadership Lab serves as the hub of activity,
VIP offerings for early adopters, and style notes of
what to wear will continue.
Get dressed for the first week of November. What
you choose to wear is a story. We're listening.

style notes at maconfashionweek.com and

model, or provide makeup artistry.

The spotlight was on local relevance, from
presentations about armor and adornment, to
learning fashion history, to photographers
Matt Odom, Jave Bjorkman, and Jessica Whitley
(below) whose photos of Muscogee citizen Jamie
Rolland-Hill were featured alley lightboxes, all
curated by Tracie Revis in partnership with
Dashboard and NewTown Macon.
