A NEW HOME

After a last-minute scramble to find a venue, Baltimore Fashion Week has found a home. Since January, Baltimore Fashion Week founder Sharan Nixon has been operating under the assumption that she would hold her four-day event in Harbor East. Nixon announced last week that she was not able to secure a lease with H&S Properties Development Corp., the group responsible for developing the Harbor East area. Monday, Nixon signed a contract to hold her event at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Baltimore. "Luckily we were able to find a venue in enough time to accommodate the guests, designers, models, production team while keeping the same level of professionalism for the event," Nixon says. "It's very nostalgic and convenient."

Attend Baltimore Fashion Week Aug. 18-21 at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Baltimore, 3800 North Charles Street. Doors open at 7 p.m. The show starts at 7:45 p.m. Tickets may be purchased in advance at baltimoresfashionweek.com or at the door by credit card only.
