[June 10, 2012 – SAN FRANCISCO] SFFAMA, Inc. is pleased to announce the first annual SF Design Week Runway Show & Fashion Presentation to be held at ASTRO STUDIOS, 348 6th St, San Francisco, on Saturday, June 16th, 2012, with doors opening at 6:30PM.

Built around the lifestyle of New York based designer Jimmy Reilly, ROGUE is the casual masculine leather and cloth outerwear collection that rapidly gained prominence in top retail stores across North America and has since expanded into a contemporary men’s lifestyle collection. JYJZ is a new online fashion apparel and accessories company based in the San Francisco Bay area, with a passion for providing unique and stylish, high quality clothing at affordable prices and a selection of trendy styles ranging from fun casual to designer dressy. AUDREY SZETO is an artist and designer inspired by the intrinsically unique nature of each individual. “The Safest Way to be” is a collection of garments inspired by methods of protection and self-preservation. Whether through suggestion of aggression or ritual practice, there is a connection between the physical and psychological that affords security and empowerment to the wearer. JENNIFER SCHMIDT made her debut at the ‘Gaultierize Yourself Fashion Show’ at the De Young Museum to celebrate the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition. Jennifer is an Apparel Marketing and Fashion Design graduate of CSU Sacramento and the Academy of Art San Francisco and her motto is “Live, Love, Create.” SCOTT IAN MCFARLAND grew up picking up fabrics for his mother’s quilts. After a BFA in sculpture, he evolved towards fashion knitwear in order to create “wearable sculptures.” Scott graduated with a MFA in Knitwear from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and his men’s collection was shown at New York Fashion Week. Scott can be found in the knitwear department of the Academy of Art and he is currently preparing to launch his own knitwear line.
