Milwaukee Fashion Week is set for Oct. 3-6, and in the fashion world, this is great news for the city.

The four-day event, organized by Solessence's Hillary Fry, brings famed experts in fashion and beauty to Wisconsin, and gains national attention for local talent.

The launch of Milwaukee's first Fashion Week means parties (at the new Harley-Davidson Museum, as well as on the water aboard the Edelweiss vessels), talks by fashion icons, interactive fashion workshops, runway shows and, of course, after parties.

A portion of the event's proceeds benefit The Hummingbird Foundation and Bucketworks.
