Interested individuals can now register for the casting through Eventbrite.
As the event gears up, OIFW also celebrates its continued alliance with the Downtown Arts District, an essential pillar of Orlando’s creative and cultural community. This collaboration enhances OIFW’s goal of promoting artistic expression through fashion while giving participants an enriching connection to the city’s thriving arts scene. The partnership is expected to strengthen opportunities for designers, models, and sponsors across the fashion landscape.
Adding to the excitement, OIFW has announced a partnership with Macy’s from The Mall at Millenia.
