NWA Fashion Week

Late last month, locally-owned clothing rental store The Library Vintage hosted a Fashion Forum in Fayetteville. Promoted toward northwest Arkansas designers, models, photographers and more, the store explicitly called for those who wished to see a change in the region’s fashion community and wanted to participate in that discussion.

Northwest Arkansas may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of fashion. But thanks to Interform that's changing.

On today's show, the impact of fashion here in Northwest Arkansas. Also, the Razorbacks welcome a new head men’s basketball coach. Plus, musicians from the Silk Road Ensemble are in Fayetteville this week for a music education conference and to perform.

NWA Fashion Week returns next month. This spring’s edition includes many of the features from past years but is in a new location: The Ledger in downtown Bentonville. Rochelle Bailey, the communications and evaluations manager for Interform, the organization behind the event, visited with Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams to explain the hows and whys of the week.

On today's show, the latest data on people experiencing homelessness in northwest Arkansas. Also, NWA Fashion Week is more than just admiring clothing. Plus, sharing something in your closet.

Today's Ozarks at Large features a conversation with Andrew Boyd about his new book, I Want a Better Catastrophe: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief, Hope and Gallows Humor. Plus, NWA Fashion Week begins, remembering singer songwriter Clare Starr, Teamsters and ABF Freight reach a tentative agreement, and more.

NWA Fashion Week began last night and continues with shows tonight and tomorrow night at The Momentary in Bentonville. Designers and organizers said attendees will see a variety of style and creators.

Assembly, an umbrella arts event, will include art throughout Northwest Arkansas and the annual Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week.

The in-person events of NWA Fashion Week were nixed in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic. But the celebration of clothing, individuality and collaboration is back beginning Thursday night at The Momentary.
