I thought something was up with Milwaukee Fashion Week when they started charging press for passes to the shows...and now it has officially been canceled due to "unfulfilled financial commitments leaving a large financial deficit."

Without enough cashola they aren't able to bring such a high cost event to Milwaukee...seems like more lack of support for/belief in the Midwest fashion scene.

If you purchased tickets, they are giving full refunds, but you'll have to find something else to do this weekend. A decision about the future of Milwaukee Fashion Week is yet to be determined. For more information contact them at info@fashionbythelake.com.

Keep trying Milwaukee, it will happen some day!
