FMMF positions itself as the first collaborative fusion festival to incorporate music, with music inspired fashion brands as a unified live entertainment experience, under the brand mantra, “3 days, 2 loves, 1 place – Unboxed in Columbus, Ohio, Labor Day Weekend 2014.”
The festival will be assembling a premier line-up of emerging artists and national musical acts along with fashion models, designers, and retail brand names – mixing design, style, song and soul for three continuous days, celebrating the fusion of fashion and music. 250 musical acts will perform on the FMMF campus in adjacent arenas and venues, as well as playing intimate shows in many Short North “hub spots,” 300 leading vendor brands in the fashion and music industries will populate a 118,000 square foot retail presence, producing a fashion and music marketplace. A dedicated runway inside the Convention Center will showcase the blend of the two art forms. In addition to music and fashion, Nationwide Boulevard from High Street to Neil Avenue will be transformed into a streetscape of various cuisine and beverage selections; complete with gourmet food trucks, aerial zip lines, and one of North America’s largest Gondolas, towering 100 feet tall.
