Every fall season, fashion designers in the San Diego area bring collections they've been working on all year to the runway at Fashion Week San Diego. Here's…
The internationally-known"Big Four" fashion weeks have wrapped up — but did you know San Diego has its own fashion week, too?
On the night of the show, attendees vote for their top three designers. This year, CWCouture won first place, Sierra Mitchell won second place and third place went to to Saulho. At 8 years old, Mitchell learned to sew from her mother, who would sew her own ice skating costumes. Mitchell's mother was in turn taught to sew byFashion design is how Mitchell expresses herself without being too blatant, she said."That's why I think I love design so much, because I can kind of play with emotion — but in fabric," she said.“I can’t imagine there’s something else that feels this amazing," Mitchell said.
"My favorite fashion show by far. I love Fashion Week San Diego. It's like a second home," Mitchell summed up. Odd Bird Designs by Brittany Arriola is a world of whimsy, adorable eccentricity and lots and lots of quirk. All of this showed at her 2023 collection, a sort of"mermaid disco" collection with notes of Studio 54, she told NBC 7.
Nina Cicolo is an independent fashion designer who moved many years ago from Sao Paolo, Brazil to San Diego.“Last year, I wanted to show up and show everything that I can do. This year, I say, I do whatever I want. So I’ve been working with more sustainable materials,” she said. One of her looks features a long flowing skirt made of paper in sunset colors at the top, dripping into earth tones toward the bottom and a top held together by straps made of açaí seeds.
The October showcase is hardly their only event of the year. FWSD strives to hold events for their designers throughout the year.The organization works all year with sponsors like U.S. Bank, Topo Chico, the Andaz Hotel in downtown and the San Diego International Sister Cities Association, Bates said.U.S. Bank didn't come down the runway with looks, but partners Topo Chico and the San Diego International Sister Cities Association started off the show with their own fashion collections.
