The Future of Fashion is an immersive multi-media runway-style show that started in 2009 as a collaboration between Lexington designer Soreyda Benedit-Begley and photographer Richie Wiremen along with a small handful of models and make-up artists. Designed to draw awareness to Lexington’s multi-tiered fashion scene and to give young designers a “platform for innovation,” the event has been on hiatus since 2013 but returned in 2022 after being delayed by the 2020 pandemic.
