Get Ready for “Disruption”
Hey fashion lovers! The buzz is building here in Buffalo, and we're beyond excited to give you a sneak peek into the inspiration behind the name for this year's Buffalo Fashion Week runway show: "Disruption".
If you've been following our journey, you know we're passionate about cultivating a vibrant and dynamic fashion and arts scene right here in Western New York. So, when it came time to choose a name that truly embodied our vision, "Disruption" felt like the perfect fit.
Why "Disruption," you ask? Well, it's more than just a catchy word. It speaks to our core mission: to shake things up and challenge the traditional landscape of the fashion and arts industry. We believe that creativity and style aren't exclusive to the major fashion capitals. Buffalo has its own unique energy and talent, and we're here to amplify it, disrupt the status quo, and carve out our own space on the map.
But the inspiration doesn't stop there! We also drew significant influence from the powerful impact of streetwear on the global fashion scene. Emerging from vibrant subcultures like hip-hop and skateboarding, streetwear wasn't just about clothing; it was a raw form of self-expression, a bold statement that crashed into the established, often exclusive, world of high fashion. It was, in its very essence, a disruption.
And that spirit resonates deeply with what we're building here at Buffalo Fashion Week. As our fashion scene blossoms, embracing a disruptive mindset is crucial. It's how we make our voices heard, how we showcase the incredible talent brewing in our region, and how we declare that fashion and arts not only can thrive here, but they already do.
We can't wait to bring this vision to life on May 3rd at our incredibly spacious, industrial-chic venue. Trust us, the raw energy of the space will be the perfect backdrop for the groundbreaking set design we have in store for you.
For those who might be familiar with our previous shows like FOTF (Fashion On The Field), get ready for a different vibe this year. While FOTF leaned into the world of sports, "Disruption" casts a wider net, diving headfirst into the diverse and dynamic realm of streetwear. But one thing remains consistent: our commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering a show that surpasses anything we've done before. Get ready for something bigger, bolder, and undeniably better!
So mark your calendars, fashion enthusiasts! Buffalo is ready to make some noise, to create a disruption, and to show the world the incredible talent that calls Western New York home. We can't wait to see you there!
