DFW receives many local designer requests to participate in our runway shows. In order to provide an opportunity for more emerging designers to grow and show their collections at DFW, we've decided for the first time to produce an Emerging Local Designer Challenge followed by a pop-up shopping experience by Hot Pink Matter, NUR (high-end jewelry line), Tyne Hall, Menez and a dance party with DJ Orca and MPort.

Here is a breakdown of what to expect:

Seven designers, who have never shown at DFW in the past, will create five looks to showcase on the runway. Our panel of judges consists of two DFW lead producers, three local designers: Mo Kisale - Killionare, Rachel Hurst - RMH, Tristan Bego - February Jones, and those in attendance who will also be able to vote.

Two lucky designers will be chosen to show their collection in the upcoming DFW fall season.

Featured Emerging Designers:

• Vellu
• Saint Destiny
• Untamed Vanity
• Criola
• Furlow
• Kawesii
• Hoohah

$30 ADDED VALUE: The DFW Local Designer Challenge tickets also include a complimentary ticket to the CADENZA Concert + Fashion pop-up event featuring MPort and support DJ Orca taking place right after the fashion show.

Featured Pop-Up designers:

• Hot Pink Matter
• NUR ( high end jewlery line)
• Tyne Hall
• Menez
