Wheeling Fashion Week artwork designed by Amanda Carney.

WHEELING — Wheeling Fashion Week returns June 7-13 for its second year, gathering fashion enthusiasts, industry professionals, and supporters of the arts.

The highly anticipated Runway Show will take place on Friday, June 12, at Waterfront Hall in Wheeling, showcasing even more designers from across the region than last year.

This year’s runway will feature a mix of both returning and new brands. The confirmed lineup includes: Nomadic, Nini’s Treasures – A Unique Boutique by Ingrid, Framez LLC, Betsy Dale Hats, Label 3 Boutique, House of Rouse, Rinnifus Rae Designs, Two Times: Clothing and Collectibles, North Fork Jewelry Design, Bebot and Vindeezy.

Kelsey Cromar, real estate agent and media personality, will emcee this year’s runway show, as models strut in contemporary, one-of-a-kind and upcycled clothing and accessories, spanning womenswear, menswear, unisex and childrenswear markets.

The model application is open on Wheeling Fashion Week’s Facebook page and website for anyone interested in walking in the show.

Wheeling Fashion Week has also unveiled the work of their 2026 featured artist, Amanda Carney. Carney is the owner of Cat’s Paw Studio and creatively illustrated a few of last year’s designs as a vintage paper doll graphic. The artwork thoughtfully blends Wheeling’s appreciation for fashion history with the new styles coming onto the scene.

Wheeling Fashion Week continues to highlight the growing creative community in the region while providing a platform for brands to share their work with a wider audience.

Runway tickets, which sold out very quickly last year, go on sale at the end of April.
