Pittsburgh Fashion Week Model Search
As anticipation builds for the second annual Pittsburgh Fashion Week, Sept. 26 through Oct. 2, organizers are staging an open model call on Saturday, August 13th at The Mall at Robinson.

Hopefuls under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Pittsburgh Fashion Week will consist of seven days of runway shows and related events that require models, including an opening night extravaganza featuring Doncaster “Under the tent at Market Square”, a “Radiant in Red!” runway show featuring looks from the Mall at Robinson benefiting The American Heart Association, and other shows and events including but not limited to menswear, petites and pluses, eco-chic and as many as 75 local designers and retailers. Models are needed for all shows!
Those interested in modeling should attend this open call, which will begin promptly at 12 p.m. and conclude at 2 p.m., immediately followed by a back-to-school runway fashion show presented by the mall. Registration for the fashion week model search will begin at 11 a.m. inside the mall (In front of Startbucks) and come with your best walk.
Judges will make selections at 3 p.m following the Mall at Robinson fashion show.
