Pittsburgh model Miyoshi Anderson, created the event to help highlight the fashion industry in Pittsburgh, which had been struggling with the closure of several major department stores.[1]
The first Pittsburgh Fashion Week was held in 2010, with events held in Heinz History Center and the Omni William Penn Hotel.[1] The inaugural class of the Pittsburgh Fashion Hall of Fame was selected that week.[2] The second event, in 2011, was held shortly after GQ named Pittsburgh the third worst-dressed city, a distinction participants disputed.[3]
The third Fashion Week had a theme of "ecologically friendly fashion."[4]
One event focused exclusively on men's fashion.[5] Local celebrities modeled some fashion.[6][7]
