6 DAYS  6 CITIES  6 RUNWAYS

With their strategic coverage throughout South Florida, designers, sponsors and vendors have the opportunity to broaden their exposure to consumers, retailers and the media alike. SFIFW also leverages this platform to showcase the local communities where each of the events are hosted.

SFIFW proudly identified Porsche West Broward as its title sponsor. Porsche West Broward has the largest selection of New and Pre-Owned Porsche inventory nationwide and is the largest facility in the country. The brand new state of-the-art 66,000 sq. ft. indoor showroom and service area will also serve as one of the venues during SFIFW. With this partnership, show attendees can expect to spend a luxurious evening in a posh environment immersed in beautiful fashion and fast cars all while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres from local fine dining restaurants.

In addition to the Porsche West Broward facility, other venues include:

South Florida International Fashion Week was created by the Fashion for a Cause Foundation as one of its programs to provide a platform where emerging and established local, national and international designers can exhibit their collections. Through the support of sponsors FFACF is able to maintain costs for participating fashion designers low while providing a high production level that includes models, hair, make-up, and a cocktail reception for attendees at each event. Ticket sales directly benefit FFACF and facilitates their continued support of emerging designers and launching new community programs that support at-risk youth and employment challenged men and women.

About Fashion for a Cause Foundation

The Fashion for a Cause Foundation was founded in Las Vegas, NV in 2012 by fashion photographer and philanthropist, Andres Gonzalez, to raise funds and awareness for local charity organizations. In early 2017, FFACF moved its operations to Florida where corporate leader and consultant, Carlos Junquera, joined the foundation to lead the development of its community programs.

The foundation continues to use fashion as a platform to help other local charities but, expanded its mission to support emerging designers and with the launch of SFIFW, FFACF’s capital campaign, FFACF is working to secure a location where they can:

• continue facilitating fashion and art apprenticeship programs;
• offer workshops to teach at-risk men and women with barriers to employment an industry related trade to gain employment and economic independence;
• support at-risk youth through various fashion and art programs; and
• offer work space for emerging designers and artists in general.
