The Bellevue Collection’s Fashion Week took place on October 4-5 and raised $96,000 for local nonprofits. This event, in its 19th year of donating 100% of ticket sales, generated $56,000 for KidsQuest Children’s Museum and $40,000 for WWIN.
Over the years, the Fashion Week initiative has contributed $1.4 million to local organizations, according to Jennifer Leavitt, vice president of marketing for The Bellevue Collection.
The event featured two runway shows that showcased the latest fall trends and encouraged guests to explore their styles. It also included various beauty and fitness activities, interactive experiences, and shopping opportunities.
The Trend Takeover Runway Show benefited WWIN, which provides scholarships and career coaching for women facing barriers in education and employment. In the past year, WWIN supported 150 scholars, achieving a 99% graduation or continued education rate.
The Collective Runway Show supported KidsQuest Children’s Museum, which focuses on learning through play and STEAM education. The museum served 220,506 children and families last year and was awarded 613 scholarships to improve accessibility.
Tickets for the next Fashion Week will be available in the summer of 2025.
The Fashion Week website provides links to the “Shop the Show” features, allowing users to revisit various looks. The available links include a section dedicated to trend takeovers and another focusing on the collective.
