The peak of the week is quite literally at the top of the city at the new One Liberty Observation Deck, where attendees can enjoy a fashion show overlooking the city on Wednesday, September 21st. The fashion event will continue below in the Rotunda at the Shops at Liberty Place. While sipping on fabulous drinks at the VIP show, retailers in the audience will have a chance to buy pieces from some of their favorite looks.

On Wednesday, you also won’t want to miss the first ever “Gentlemen’s Night Out,” hosted by Chad Michael* and Miz Inc. for Philly Fashion Week. Chad will be on site doing hair, and fresh shaves.
