CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB) March 18, 2014 -- Baker Motor Company Charleston Fashion Week® 2014 (CFW) launches one of the premier fashion events in North America today. The event runs through Saturday, March 22th, under an expansive fashion village in downtown Charleston’s Marion Square.

Each night CFW will feature runway shows by emerging designer contestants, select local retailers, and featured designers, headlined by Timo Weiland on Sat, March 22. An all-star panel of judges headlined by Fern Mallis (the Creator of New York Fashion Week, host of 92Y Fashion Icons series & SiriusXM Fashion Insiders w/Fern Mallis) will select the winning Emerging Designer.

CFW also has a cast of 200 models who were selected in August from a group of 800 applicants. Under the training of renowned model coach, Michelle Wood, these models will walk throughout the week’s 45-plus runway shows. One male and one female winner will be selected on Fri, March 21 by CFW’s VIP Model Panel including Karen Lee Grybowski, Sebastian Smith and Christina Zapolski.

“This year’s expansion of our physical space, participants and national outreach means CFW will reach more people than ever before,” says Jed Drew, co-founder. “It is exciting to see our hard work come together for a great experience in the fashion industry.”
