A lot of changes are being made to this year’s Baltimore Fashion Week. In the past two years it has been 5 days long, later in the evening, and held in downtown Baltimore. This year, Baltimore’s fashion week will be held over 4 days, (August 22 was just recently added) during a earlier time, and in Towson, Maryland. A new feature to this year’s fashion week will be a scholarship opportunity and a contest for the designers. With all the changed and added excitement, Baltimore Fashion Week 2010 is sure to be a big hit!

“This year we stepped everything up several notches, from the designers to the event location. Changes, revisions, omissions, and enhancements were made all to accompany our designers, models, vendors and our fashionable guests.  So it was important to make sure that everything was top notch, and so far I think we are achieving that with this year’s production phases” stated Nixon, Founder/Executive Producer of Butterfly Productions, LLC.
