We know you take your studies and style seriously. That’s why we’re so excited about this year’s College Fashion Week®. Taking the cities of Boston, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles by storm, the event will bring together the countries most fashion-obsessed collegiettes to celebrate their bodies and fashion as a form of self expression. Our real girl student models will display the season’s hottest trends for a spectacular runway rendezvous—right in their college towns.

CFW promises to be the ultimate girls’ night out. Here are the top three reasons why you need to get your ticket ASAP:

1. It’s Fashion Week – Reimagined

College Fashion Week 2016 will showcase top talent from the next generation of young female fashion designers and entrepreneurs. These designers looks are guaranteed to be the hottest thing you’ll see this fall. We can’t wait for shows from My Social Canvas, Foray Collective, Ali & Ariel, Frill Clothing, and Bow & Drape. Plus, Rebecca Minkoff and Vince Camuto will offer their designs to complement these fresh talents’ collections and complete the runway looks. Our style bible, StyleWatch, will be on-hand to celebrate all things style—and co-emcee the event with Her Campus co-founder Windsor Hanger Western. Now that’s some serious #fashioninspo.

2. The Fun (and Swag)

A new semester can be stressful, which is why we’re all about taking time to pamper ourselves.
