Contrary to popular belief, runway shows aren’t just for models, designers and others immersed in the fashion culture.

In fact, watching models strutting on the catwalk isn’t that different from watching an actor trod the boards, according to Keira Chatman, executive director of the Columbus Fashion Council.

The nonprofit council produces events year-round, but its flagship program is Fashion Week Columbus, a showcase of local designers and models that Chatman likens to theater.

“Anybody can come. It’s just like a play: You don’t have to be an actor to attend,” she said. “We want to draw more people (in) who just enjoy creative arts.

“We don’t want (the week) to be just industry-focused. We want to make sure it’s inclusive of Columbus.”

The Recycled Runway Fashion Show and Competition, a popular event during Fashion Week Columbus, will be held at the Idea Foundry on Oct. 16. Fashion Week Columbus begins Sunday and runs through Oct. 19.

With a theme of “Fashion Forward,” Fashion Week Columbus begins Sunday and runs through Oct. 19 at various venues around the city.

To get the news out beyond downtown Columbus, Chatman embarked on what she called a “guerilla marketing” campaign, even taking to the streets to visit area businesses.
