HEALDSBURG FASHION WEEK
Healdsburg Fashion Week is a premier destination fashion experience set in the heart of the wine country. Designed as a cultural platform, it brings together local & global designers, tastemakers and discerning audiences to celebrate fashion, art and craftsmanship - while driving meaningful economic and social impact for the region.
MISSION
To produce a world‑class fashion and cultural event rooted in Healdsburg’s heritage — creating meaningful commercial opportunity, elevating local and global storytelling, and delivering an unforgettable experience where fashion, art, and community converge.
VISION
To establish Healdsburg as an internationally recognized destination for fashion, culture, and luxury experiences — a place where global creativity is celebrated through the authentic spirit of wine country.
BEGINNING
Healdsburg Fashion Week was founded by a collective of like‑minded creatives inspired by the remarkable global influences that naturally converge in Healdsburg. What began as a shared vision quickly evolved into a movement to spotlight the region’s unique blend of culture, craftsmanship, and style.
At the heart of this vision is world‑renowned fashion designer Joseph Domingo, whose decades in the international fashion arena shaped his belief that Healdsburg holds a rare balance of authenticity and refinement. After choosing the town as his home, Domingo imagined a gathering place where designers, artists, and innovators from around the world could meet in one iconic setting — a place where creativity feels both elevated and grounded.
Healdsburg Fashion Week celebrates a singular juxtaposition: three celebrated wine‑producing regions, a world‑class culinary scene, iconic accommodations, and an approachable yet luxurious style that defines the spirit of modern wine country.
