On October 26th, College Fashion Week held its fantastic fourth and final show at The Estate in Boston!
The event was made possible by the ongoing support of our amazing sponsors. Our independent clothing sponsor, UsTrendy, displayed unique international trends on the runway and allowed one lucky winner to receive the clothing item of their choice. Sports Club/LA, our fitness sponsor, provided gifts for 100 VIPs and showcased the latest fitness trends on the runway, with clothing, sneakers and accessories provided by FILA, proving that you can stay fashionable even while breaking a sweat! They also included samples of amazing hair products from Salon Marc Harris in 100 VIP goody bags, and free and personalized fitness consultations before and after the show with Boston’s top trainers. One lucky guest won a free month of membership at either the Boston or Chestnut Hill club!
The official CFW luggage sponsor, Samsonite, showcased the latest luggage trends on the runway and continued their #LifePacked sweepstakes, which ends on December 20 at 11:59:59 p.m. To enter for the chance to win Samsonite bags and accessories, upload pictures of your packed life to Instagram with the hashtag #LifePacked and tag @SamsoniteUS.
neuro, the official CFW beverage sponsor, provided neuro SONIC to keep everyone energized throughout the event, as well as custom CFW Boston neuro cocktails served at the bar and a neuro SONIC lounge for guests to relax in. Poppin, the CFW dorm décor and furniture sponsor, displayed their bright work style products on the runway and provided swag in the VIP goody bags, which included pens and a notebook! Poppin continued its Best Dressed Desk competition in which one lucky winner received the desk accessories of her choice by uploading a photo of her dream Poppin desk to Instagram with the hastag #playdressup.
Blow dry bar Be Styled did the models’ hair, and Lilly Pulitzer brought some of the latest trends to brighten up the runway. Intel, the official technology partner of CFW Boston, gave away an Acer Aspire S7 to a winner who tweeted at @Intel with the hashtags #CFW and #UltraStyle the results of a quiz she took to find out what style Ultrabook she was!
