Wilmington Fashion Week Categories

While womenswear is a major focus, Wilmington's menswear found in boutiques, though smaller in fashion categories, is equally important. From closet staples to pieces for the sophisticated man, menswear is valuable when supporting local.

From simple pieces and matched outfits to formalwear for that special occasion, womenswear is the broadest category in the area. This runway will feature boutiques and designers not only from Wilmington, but from the entire Cape Fear region as a whole.

If there is one thing that is not foreign to Wilmington, it's the number of weddings that occur here almost daily. With pristine venues and a plethora of wedding vendors from gorgeous florals to stunning decor, bridal fashion on the runway is brought to you by Camille's of Wilmington, providing the best experience for your big day.

If there is one major attraction to Wilmington, it's the fact that it's surrounded by some of the nicest beaches on the East Coast. Swimwear ranges from the simplest bikini to complex and layered outfits. And another thing: Wilmington is home to one of the biggest athletic communities in North Carolina. Athleisure, because here, it's always in season.

WFW would not be complete without a runway featuring vintage and upcycled clothing. From year-round vintage markets featuring vendors to numerous vintage stores throughout the area, the vintage scene is not dead and buried. Also, when you shop local at these boutiques, you're also helping the environment while looking fantastic.
