It’s a glorious time for local fashion shows and events. Fashion Week MN wraps up Saturday, and another series of fashion and style events, Black Fashion Week MN, gets underway on Friday.

“The Twin Cities can expect to see new designers and creatives, new locations and lots of fun this season,” said BFWMN founder Natalie Morrow.

The series — featuring runway shows, mix and mingle events, the unveiling of the Minnesota Grown label using local farm-raised fibers and more — runs through Oct. 5. Events range from free to $50.
