Philadelphia Fashion Week—a “First” Definitely Not to Be Missed! Posted: 26 Aug 2009 05:55 PM PDT Philadelphia—the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection—has definitely gone down in history as a city of the nation's firsts! The "now" metropolis is home to the country's first park (1681), first brick house (1682), first printed almanac (1685), first paper mill (1690), first public school (1698), first fire engine (1719), first US flag (1777), first US Congress (1789), first Federal mint (1792), first zoo (1874)…and the list of firsts goes on and go! While Philadelphia cannot lay claim to the first fashion week in the history of the nation, this year will mark the first full-blown fashion week in the birthplace of the US! I am sure the nation's first fashion designer, Betsy Ross, would be proud of the new revolution hitting the cobblestone streets of her colonial hometown! Philadelphia Fashion Week will take place from October 8 to 10 at the 23rd Street Armory and will feature 15 runway shows, numerous concerts and dance performances, an open bar of artisan drinks, the best of Philly cuisine, and lots of shopping at your choice of 12 pop-up boutiques. Philadelphia-based designers will include Commonwealth Proper, Delicious, Strangefruit, and SA VA. Several guest designers have also been invited, including Triple 5 Soul, Wrath Arcane, Park & Ronen, 9 Days, Brooklyn Royalty, GAR-DE, and Love Brigade. For more information, log onto the Philadelphia Fashion Week website. Tickets are on sale now! This is an event not to be missed: let fashion freedom ring, Philadelphians!
