New Mexico Fashion Week 2016 Announces Partnership with PicPocket
Event: New Mexico Fashion Week Albuquerque
Presented by: Albuquerque Apparel Center, LLC and The City of Albuquerque
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Dates: April 13-17, 2016
NEW MEXICO FASHION WEEK 2016 ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH PICPOCKET
New Mexico Fashion Week has renewed its partnership with PicPocket for this year's event, April 13-17. The event, in its third year, will be held at the Albuquerque Convention Center, with Runway Shows and Expo Friday April 15 and Saturday April 16.
PicPocket is a photo sharing app that is the pioneer in geo-fenced user-generated events. The app was in limited distribution at the 2015 event, and available only on Android devices. The app, which is free, is now available for both Android and iPhone users.
Last year's test resulted in more than 600 photos being posted. Friends and fans of NMFW are invited to download the app now and start using it in advance for events of their own choosing. Upon arriving at New Mexico Fashion Week 2016, the app will recognize that the user is within the geo-fence that NMFW will create (about ½ mile radius). Users simply need to check in to the event, and start posting photos.
"PicPocket is designed for people to post photos while in the moment. It can be your daughter's birthday party, the Super Bowl, or New Mexico Fashion Week. Friends and strangers alike can pool their photos, and then download or print." said Wolfram Gauglitz, CEO of PicPocket, Inc., developer of the app.
All pictures posted to the event (which will kept open throughout April 15-17 while scheduled activities are at the ABQ Convention Center) can be seen by, and shared with, all other users who check in. Users can then choose to send any photo directly to the nearest Walgreens for inexpensive prints. PicPocket also allows users to cross-post to all of the other popular social media sites.
"I am happy to have PicPocket as our official photo sharing site again this year. We put it to a tough test last year, and it worked wonderfully. We hope that many of our patrons will use it during the Runway shows," Melissa Lea Beasley, Founder and Executive Director of NMFW, said.

Event: New Mexico Fashion Week
Presented by: Albuquerque Apparel Center, LLC and The City of Albuquerque
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Dates: April 13-17, 2016
NEW MEXICO FASHION WEEK ANNOUNCES 2016 VENUE
New Mexico Fashion Week has announced that its venue for 2016 will once again be the Albuquerque Convention Center. The event, in its third year, will be held April 13-17, including runway shows the evenings of the 15th and 16th.
“We are happy to be back downtown, in the heart of Albuquerque,” said Melissa Lea Beasley, Founder and Executive Director. “The downtown area has experienced a renaissance the last few years, and it is great to be a part of it.”
The event will be held in the combined Grand Ballroom A and B rooms, and will play out in harmony with the underlying meaning of the 2016 Pantone colors. “This years runway show will exude an essence of connection between audience and ensembles as we bring the two closer together physically with a longer, more intimate runway layout. Bringing the audience closer together with the runway will also allow them to feel an interweaving wellness with the garments and accessories around them, much like how the coming together of Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of peace. Pantones reference to the “gender blur” has always been present within the fashion industry and has been carried over into NMFW. New Mexico Fashion Week is a comforting, welcoming entity that embraces all genders, ages, and sizes while encouraging everyone to let their creativity flow and express it freely without judgment.”
Other events scheduled include trunk showings on the 13th and 14th, an industry Meet and Greet the evening of the 14th, and a Fashion Brunch Sunday 17th. There will also be guest speakers leading a variety of fashion-related events on the 15th and 16th during daytime hours. Friday and Saturday evening runway shows will follow-up with lively after parties in downtown establishments.
Tickets for the event go on sale in February. “Most of the designer spots have been filled. A couple of spots are still open as we search for the perfect accompaniments to assure NMFW16 is the best show to date,” Beasley added.
New Mexico is one of the most popular destination for fashion and inspiration, and thanks to the knowledge and determination of the Albuquerque Apparel Center, New Mexico is being woven into the next Fashion Industry Powerhouse. New Mexico is a wealth of fashion inspiration and ideas that come from its diverse backgrounds and environments. The sights and essence of New Mexico create trends seen and produced all over the world. ..Southwest, Native American and Santa Fe style, Spanish and Mexican, to the Wild West Cowboy and Indian, to name few. In addition to the classic styles, New Mexico is also home to cutting edge Fashion and Accessory Designers who have forged a new design style of their own.

RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 2, 2015
Press Release: NMFWQ2015 & AAC Partner With WTAMU For Apparel Study
Event: New Mexico Fashion Week Albuquerque
Presented by: Albuquerque Apparel Center, LLC and The City of Albuquerque
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
Dates: March 28 2015
New Mexico Fashion Week and its parent company, Albuquerque Apparel Center, have partnered with researchers at West Texas A&M University to study consumer clothing preferences and country-of-origin effects. The team plans to have all data collected by mid-March, and make preliminary findings available at NM Fashion Week March 28-29.
"I am happy to be working with these professionals to try to better understand consumer clothing buying habits and attitudes," said Melissa Lea Beasley, Executive Director and Founder. "This study fits nicely within the mission of the Apparel Center as we seek to build a domestic garment industry in New Mexico."
The researchers include Dr. R. Nicholas Gerlich, the Hickman Professor of Marketing, Dr. Kristina Drumheller, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, and Dr. Sarah Vartabedian, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies. Gerlich and Drumheller are reprising an earlier study in which they measured similar attitudes of an incoming freshman class at their university.
"The sample for this study will be 500 or more people from all over the US," Gerlich stated. "Our goal is to recruit participants who represent the larger population, and perhaps be able to draw some conclusions about current attitudes toward imported versus American-made clothing and other products."
"It is important to study this phenomenon because the industry continues to be in flux," Drumheller said. "There is actually a recent trend toward apparel manufacturing returning to the US, even if these new efforts are foreign-owned."
"The study will include participants the researchers recruit on their own, as well as friends and supporters of AAC," Beasley added. "This will allow them to compare national attitudes to those that are more local to New Mexico."
New Mexico Fashion Week Albuquerque and Albuquerque Apparel Center represent 25 years in the fashion and marketing industry. It is organized and managed by industry professionals with degrees in-field, from fashion design to merchandising, promotions, public relations, and academia. New Mexico Fashion Week Albuquerque is not affiliated with any other fashion weeks throughout the state of New Mexico.

Dates: March 25 - 29, 2015
FASHION AS ART: CALL FOR ENTRIES
New Mexico Fashion Week is proud to announce its first Fashion As Art Contest in conjunction with the second annual event March 25-29. “We’re inviting artists and designers to think beyond normal. Design a dress using non-traditional materials, and have fun,” said Meredith Lockhart, Celebrity Designer and Contest Co-Coordinator.
The contest runs from December 29th through January 20th, with finalists announced on January 25th. Adult and Student divisions will be offered, with prizes for the winner in each category. “I am excited with this addition to New Mexico Fashion Week’s list of activities. Our goal is to create the ultimate fashion week event in the southwest,” said Melissa Lea Beasley, Executive Director and Founder.
Judging criteria for awards will be on creativity of materials chosen and how they are used, design appeal, quality of workmanship and originality. The subject matter is a dress, but made from non-traditional fashion materials. Dresses need to be displayed on pre-made or hand-made body forms or mannequins that are life-sized. A small percentage (no more than 20%) of traditional materials can be used. Embellishments with crystals and gemstones are acceptable. “Let your mind run wild. The more unusual, the better!” added Lockhart.
A Jury Fee is required of all submissions ($50 for Adults, $10 for Students). All entries selected will then be invited to participate in the show ($350 Adults, $50 Students). These entries will be prominently displayed at New Mexico Fashion Week on March 28th and 29th, with a winner announced the evening of the 28th. The event is being held in the Grand Ballroom at Albuquerque’s Convention Center. “Artists can draw from a variety of non-traditional materials to craft something magical,” said Patty Boldridge, Co-Director of the contest.
