The shout-out for this week goes to Sherry “Jello” Pence who booked some weeks down in Aruba for the Christmas season which is pretty amazing. I’m jealous but in a good way. If you’re listening to this, very happy for you, Sherry!

Aruba Fashion Week – a yearly fashion, entertainment and lifestyle event.
Enjoy the best program schedule of Aruba Fashion Week including fashion shows, social events, cocktails, the latest fashion trends, trunk shows, celebrations and a Fashion Talks Conference!
Under the sun of Aruba will shine the collections of local and international designers.
This year, all the runway shows will be held outdoors at the iconic Marketplace Pier.
A grand pier that turns into an incredible runway with over 100 meters in length and which portrays to the world the unique Aruban architecture, its sea, its wind, its heritage mixed with this front-row destination of luxury tourism and high fashion.
For the purpose of achieving a commercial connection behind the runways, the event incorporates its AFW TRUNK SHOW, a trade show with two days of sales and promotion before elite visitors and global press. A business, database, and networking platform that will manage to connect the brands with shoppers, boutique owners, and local distributors, generating retail and wholesale sales, alliances, and future purchase orders for its participants.
This year, the select calling will gather an approximate of 15 runway shows of local and international designers and over 30 participating brands at the trade fair, in segments of fashion, beauty, luxury, nutrition, art, health, real estate, and business, just to state some of them.
We expect an estimated affluence of 3,000 visitors during these three continuous days of fashion and great business opportunities as well as an undisputed promotional value for the sponsors, designers, and brands that accompany us.
Book your best stay at the amazing Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and join us in this fashion festival!
