What a week! And, we haven't even wrapped up the NFW Digital Experience yet. We're excited to introduce you to our new AMAX Talent + NFW Model Search 2020 winner and finalists. Also later today, you'll have an opportunity to get to know our final four participating designers Emily Phillips (12 PM CST), Ola Mai (2 PM CST), Lily Guilder (4 PM CST) and Eileen Kelly (6 PM CST). It's also the perfect day to shop our retail partners because you don't want to let any of these Shop Nashville deals pass you by.
This week has looked nothing like what we had planned for April, but the Digital Experience fulfilled our goals during these unprecedented times. Nashville Fashion Week was designed to engage, impact, encourage, support and celebrate the Nashville fashion community and that we did! This will always be our #whynfw mission.
Visit NashvilleFashionWeek.com to view today's full schedule, including NFW designer bios and detailed Shop Nashville event descriptions. We also encourage you to please consider making a donation to the Nashville Fashion Forward Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to help support our Nashville fashion community.
Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you back on the runway in 2021!
THE AMAX + NASHVILLE FASHION WEEK 2020
Congratulations! Asia Harper is the AMAX + Nashville Fashion Week 2020 Model Search winner.
The AMAX Talent + NFW Model Search has been a launchpad for many successful modeling careers since its inception in 2012. This year, for the first time in our nine year history, our model search was open to aspiring models of all ages and sizes. Nashville Fashion Week has always strived for diversity on the runway, but we made a conscious decision to set the bar even higher by encouraging our designers to fit a range of shapes and sizes. Our 2020 runway was set to feature the most diverse model roster that Nashville Fashion Week has ever had. We can't wait to share all of these new faces with you next year!
Asia will receive a prize package that includes:
$1,000 modeling contract and development with AMAX Talent
A professional photo shoot with a Nashville fashion photographer
The opportunity to walk the next Nashville Fashion Week runway
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR
2020 MODEL SEARCH FINALISTS!
