Christian Fashion Week

Christian Fashion Week was an annual fashion show that celebrated fashion from a Christian worldview. It is the first fashion week to claim faith as a basis. The organization and event was founded by entrepreneurs Jose Gomez, Mayra Gomez, Wil Lugo, and Tamy Lugo, all from Tampa, Florida. The first annual event, Christian Fashion Week 2013, was held on February 8, 2013, and featured 8 designers from around the US. The event attracted over 300 attendees and over 2,000 online viewers.

Growth
In 2014, the organization expanded the event from two days to an entire week. The event started with the first International Day of Prayer for Art and Fashion. The week continued with various workshops and shopping days, culminating in two days of fashion shows in Tampa, Florida. The event was covered by over 40 media outlets, including: • BuzzFeed.com • PerezHilton.com • ChristianPost.com • The Tampa Tribune The event attracted over 10,000 online viewers and, according to the organization's Facebook page, led to a retail edition of the show in Atlanta during the 2014 International Christian Retail Show, held by the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) in partnership with Christians In Fashion.
