“Sumter’s Initiation into Fashion” began last Wednesday, on August the 22nd with a Who's Who of Sumter's Celebrity Kickoff event and ran until Saturday, August 25th with 2 runway shows.  There was also a meet and greet with the models and designers.


Sumter Fashion Week is quite the talk of the town at the moment. You can hear fashion week details on both 100.1 The Beat, WNOK radio in Columbia and on Hot 103.9.

Things are heating up in South Carolina. This past weekend marked the inauguration of a beautiful and stylish week that will take place in Sumter, South Carolina.  For those who have not been lucky enough to spend some time here, the locals will tell you how the city and county of Sumter bear the name of General Thomas Sumter, also known as, the "Fighting Gamecock."  And speaking of the South Carolina Gamecocks, the football team happens to take on Coastal Carolina for their season opener this Saturday. Sports and fashion, a match made in Heaven.

​This is what Sumter Fashion Week promised, “Sumter Fashion Week will be engineering the global fashion experience and attracting industry influencers with a passport to arts, culture, fashion, and entertainment. Fashion is more than just the clothes, it is a movement, a feeling, and an expression.”  Their promise was fulfilled.




As a side note, when all of you Gamecock fans are watching Saturday’s game, just remember where your name came from.

Sports and Fashion. A match made on (and off) the field.

​Latonya Franklin of MoodSwing Magazine had this to say, “I think that this will be the start of a fabulous thing for Sumter.”

 
The final night of fashion week began at the historic O’donnell house.  The two story Italianate design home, touched by renowned architect Frank Pierce Milburn, and its picturesque decor worked as the perfect backdrop for the evening of runway shows.
