Middlesex spotlights local designers

Middlesex Fashion Week will return to Middletown this May to offer a platform for regional designers, models, and creatives to showcase their work in an evening filled with fashion, art, and industry networking.

Organized by The Influencer Corner, the event emphasizes creativity and community engagement through a range of fashion-forward programming.

Attendees can expect a visual art exhibit, high-fashion runway presentations, branding activations, and networking opportunities. The evening also includes a model social, meet-and-greet sessions, and a competitive “Best Dressed” runway walk. The event aims to bridge fashion and culture while also supporting individuals experiencing homelessness through optional donations.

Two ticket tiers are available. The Fashion Safari package is priced at $39.19 (including a $4.19 fee). This package includes second-row general seating and access to all fashion showcases. The VIP option, priced at $55.20 (including a $5.20 fee), includes premium seating and entry to an exclusive cocktail hour. Tickets are available until the day of the event.

All proceeds from donations will contribute to local outreach programs aiding unhoused residents and individuals facing food insecurity. Banner printing may be utilized to enhance the stage at fashion events such as this one.

The fashion week event takes place on Saturday, May 10 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the Middletown Recreation Center, located at 1 Wilderman's Way, Middletown. The red carpet opens at 5:00 pm, and all guests are encouraged to arrive early.
