Collaboration and creativity are everywhere in Gainesville. Innovative technology, entrepreneurial talent and a sense of shared commitment to this city's growth put Gainesville on the cutting edge of the contemporary. Diverse and inclusive identities, rich personal histories and an internationally relevant perception of the zeitgeist position our city for its global grand entrance. For six years, Gainesville Fashion Week has both celebrated our city's homegrown talent and welcomed other talent from across the country. Refusing to be either exclusively local or exclusively global, GFW helps show the world what our city can offer, and it puts our own brilliant women and men on the road to national and international visibility.
