"With the strong push from my team and, Tiffany Tate, Editor & Chief of Linger Magazine I gave in and moved the designer segment of Baltimore Fashion Week to a higher plateau with the introduction of The Shows At BFW.  This type of runway show is important for designers to introduce to buyers and clients their newest collection in a "by invite only" environment." Stated Sharan Nixon.

The Shows At BFW provide an honorarium stipend for the production team including models.  This stipend is allocated from the designer's registration fee.
