Kia Style360, one of New York Fashion Week’s showcase destinations, enters its 13th year this September and is hosting a celebrity lineup of runway shows that will include actresses Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson, Kristin Cavallari, and Alysia Reiner, and designers Timo Weiland and Tabitha St. Bernard-Jacobs among others.
 

Launched as Style Lounge in 2004, Style360 provided a platform for designers Rodarte, Rebecca Minkoff, and Patricia Fields among others to showcase their latest designs on the runway. The destination underwent a name change and evolved into a platform for celebrity designers such as Cavallari, Serena Williams, the Kardashians, Ashley Graham and Avril Lavigne. Kia Motors later stepped in as a sponsor and enters its third year in partnership with Style360.
 
This season, Ghana-based ethical fashion line Studio 189 by Rosario Dawson and former Bottega Veneta communications executive Abrima Erwiah kicks off the three-day event, followed by Artistix by Greg Polisseni, which will be presented by Andy Hilfiger, and finally Uncommon James + Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari.

“Each year, I have the daunting task of trying to outdo last year’s fashion events and this year,” states Executive Producer & Owner, David Manning, A-List Communications, “I think we’ve done it with an exciting lineup of high profile designers and bold corporate brand partners coming together to make this season one of our best ever.”  
 
Kia Style360 will be held from September 11 to September 13, 2017 at Metropolitan West at 639 West 46th Street.
