On This Weekend’s Agenda: HONOLULU Fashion Week
Get a style high with this weekend's HONOLULU Fashion Week.
This is your iCalendar talking. There’s only one appointment you have on your plate this weekend, and you’ll definitely want to clear your schedule for it: It’s HONOLULU Fashion Week.
OK, so that’s not totally true. HONOLULU Fashion Week is way more than just one thing. Don’t worry, I booked it all in for you (you know how I love juggling those times and dates). It’s going to be a busy, busy three days, packed full of runway shows, shopping, art and beauty with some of the best creative minds that Hawai‘i has to offer.
This weekend, everyone will have fashion on their agenda.
