Ottawa Fashion Week is a platform for national and international designers to showcase their work and talent. It has become an avenue of expression, creativity and innovation, and it is also a means of uniting the community in appreciation of the latest trends in design and art. Showcasing an array of unique designers, creations will be displayed through individual runway shows with about seven  designers per night. In between shows, the front stage lounge is the place to be. This complimentary area, which is open to the public, includes everything from live entertainment, to local jewellery and clothing designers, to beauty touch-ups, and a number of photo booths. Ottawa is filled with style-conscious individuals who continually seek innovative ways to experience fashion. Each season, designers taking part in Ottawa Fashion Week meet this demand by presenting designs that combine sophistication with creativity.
