Background

DCFW was founded in 2003 by Ean Williams, a menswear designer for his brand Corjor International. It is known for being the cheapest fashion week for new designers to showcase their designs.[4] In 2014, Williams described the goal of DC Fashion week making "DC a center of international fashion."[5] This goal is furthered by continually featuring international designers; for example the March 2008 show featured designers from Africa, Italy, Atlanta, Colombia, and Ukraine.[6]
