Fashion week glams up Park Avenue in Winter Park

For one week, you could stroll 5th Avenue to check out Manhattan’s trunk shows. You could meet high-end fashion designers on Madison Avenue. You could bump into celebrities at a cocktail party at Provocateur. And you could watch models strut to a pounding beat amid dazzling lights in an eye-popping Central Park runway show.

Or you could do it all right here in Winter Park, and get the same 24/7 NYC fall glam experience without all the legwork. It’s Park Avenue Fashion Week, and it’s back to strut its stuff along the sidewalks and catwalks of the city’s most famous avenue.
