I have participated as a backstage liaison and as a media representative at many of the previous Midwest Fashion Weeks. So I have had the opportunity to watch this event grow to the point that it is at right now, today. This Midwest Fashion Week machine is well oiled and continuing to move ahead, so I ask you as a reader, that you link here to get the full schedule and support any of the events that you can. I believe that you will be entertained.
