On the evening of Satuday, May 7, Fashion Week Cleveland had its grand finale, The Black Tie Gala. It was a fashionable array of both Cleveland’s social and fashion scenes combined. The show was produced and hosted by Cleveland’s own Dr. Donald Shingler who has spent the past four years securing Cleveland Fashion Week as the third largest fashion week in the nation. Cleveland may not be on the fashion radar as loudly as NYC or LA, but through Shingler and the amazing talent here, it is proving to be their biggest competitor. Fashion Week Cleveland’s events truly embody Cleveland’s ability to be on top as a fashion-forward city.
