Style Across the Aisle
Style Across the Aisle is a first-of-its-kind runway show where fashion, civic leadership, and community come together to elevate local designers, support nonprofit partners, and show a more human side of public service.
Each show brings together designers, public leaders, and community partners in a format built to spark connection, expand visibility, and reimagine what public engagement can look like.
Style Across the Aisle is more than a runway. We operate at the intersection of creative expression, high-level civic engagement, and institutional partnerships.
