The first Virginia Fashion Week in November 2007 provided a terrific opportunity for fashion designers to showcase their talent, also for the area’s
retailers, restaurants, spas, media, and other facilities to promote their businesses. It also served as a showcase for Virginia based
models to work in a professional, world-class event and was the first step in establishing the Hampton Roads area as a “fashion-forward” region!
T
he slick professional shows featured professional models from Splash Model Management in a series of New York style runway presentations. Many of the models
have worked in runway shows in NY, Miami, and abroad. Others have launched their carreers to new levels after participating in VA Fashion Week
