New York Fashion Week has officially come and gone, but high fashion is hitting the runway in Sacramento. Sacramento Fashion Week launched in 2006 to answer the call for local fashion shows. This is the eighth year in production.

The events begin Sunday with a Launch Party at MIX Downtown. The Designer Showcases, on March 1 and 2 at the Elks Tower Ballroom, will spotlight runway presentations by all the featured local designers.

So if you have a love for fashion and wish to support local designers and businesses, be sure to attend Sacramento Fashion Week. It benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For more information, click here.
