Our Story
Peoria Fashion Week Academy was founded with a simple but powerful belief: that every aspiring creative in the Midwest deserves access to professional fashion education, mentorship, and a stage to shine.
What began as a vision to bring high-fashion culture to Central Illinois has grown into a year-round academy and annual fashion event that has served hundreds of students, awarded scholarships to underserved youth and adults, and built a vibrant community of designers, models, photographers, and creatives.
