“Since its inception in 2007, Atlanta International Fashion Week has been dedicated to connecting continents through fashion… this exemplifies AIFW’s dedication to the cultural and economic development of the City of Atlanta,†says Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Atlanta is slowly becoming an epicenter of fashion with AIFW bringing it to the forefront on a global level.

In an effort to support the young fashion community, AIFW has developed a non-profit mentorship program for young girls, the ‘Fashion Apprentice,’ in which mentees are engulfed in the industry through AIFW.
With past partners such as the World Fashion TV, Mercedes Benz, Smartwater, Revlon, Comcast, Paul Mitchell, W Hotel, Dolce Group, Adidas, Hilton, Aveda, Hotel Indigo, Radio One, Usher’s New Look Foundation, AIFW has been proclaimed by the Atlanta City Council and the Governor of the State of Georgia along with the support of the Atlanta Development Authority.
