February 9th-14th, 2024 The Geek Fashion Week Group will be holding a
virtual fashion week-style event showcasing designers who have
designed and made their own geek and fandom-inspired clothing and/or
accessories.
This event will take place on Instagram on the page @thegeekfashionweek, and with the event hashtag #geekfashionweek24 across Instagram on designer’s individual accounts, and with potential hosts and collaborators.
Organizers are in the planning and organization stage and are looking for anyone who would be interested in getting involved as a designer/maker and/or event planner. Anyone who would like to take part in this event is invited to join our Facebook group The Geek Fashion Week at the following address: www.facebook.com/groups/thegee

- Original geek fashion garments and/or accessories designed and made by
submitting participants - Designs submitted to this event can be individual pieces, outfits,
or even entire collections. You are free to put as much or as little

your portfolio and show off your mad skills! - People to help grow the geek fashion community which is a wonderfully supportive group of people who share their passion for fashion and proud geek fandom.
