Vogue to hold its annual Fashion Week in Bellevue

Vogue bringing annual Fashion Week to Bellevue

The Bellevue Collection recently announced a collaboration with Vogue magazine for Fashion Week 2009, which takes place Sept. 29 through Oct. 4.

Catapulting the fashion scene in Bellevue to a whole new level, Vogue magazine will present Front Row Fashion, a runway exhibition designed and executed by Vogue magazine with fashions from The Bellevue Collection. Special guest, Anne Vincent, director of merchandising for Vogue, will share her must-haves for the fall season.

“Fashion is universal and is not distinguished by geography but instead, is defined by individual style and creativity,” Vincent said. “We hope the fashion show will inspire a fresh outlook for those who attend.”

The fashion show, produced by Vogue, will be held in the new Hyatt Regency Evergreen Ballroom. Only a little over 500 tickets will be available for the Front Row Fashion show on October 3. Tickets are currently on sale at

The Bellevue Collection and are going fast.

“I think the partnership with Vogue takes Fashion Week to a whole new level this year,” said Cheryl Engstrom for The Bellevue Collection. “The timing is perfect with the opening of the Hyatt expansion and new stores in Bellevue Square including Hugo Boss.”

An eight-page spread on Bellevue Fashion Week 2009 will appear in Vogue magazine’s September issue.

“This partnership speaks to the affluence, sophistication and fashionable sensibility of our core customers,” said Jennifer Leavitt, vice president of marketing for the Kemper Development Company, which manages Bellevue Square. “We are ecstatic to be able to bring Vogue to the Northwest for Fashion Week at The Collection.”

On Tuesday, Sept. 29, Lincoln Square Cinemas will feature a debut director’s screening of the new documentary “The September Issue,” which provides access to the making of Vogue.

Fashion Week will also include the Nordstrom Fall Fashion Show, a runway show by David Lawrence that showcases Italian designer fashions, a hair and fashion show by 7 Salon and Zebraclub, and VIP Shopping Night at The Bellevue Collection.
