Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week is back and for the first time ever it comes with free events.

Nonprofit organization INTERFORM announced its Autumn Winter 2024 events will take place at the Fayetteville Public Library on Nov. 1 and 2.

Rochelle Bailey, communications manager for INTERFORM, said the decision came as a result of the surveys the organization gave following its events in previous years.

Some of the responses said “‘We’d love to have one that’s free and open to public,’” Bailey said. “That’s where the partnership with the Fayetteville Public Library came in, to meet those needs.”

Bailey said she understands that previous years have been pricey, but historically Fashion Week has been a fundraiser.

“That’s why it costs what they do,” she said. Now “it’s definitely nice to have a free show that’s kid friendly, for families to participate in.
