There’s no Bryant Park here. Nor is there a Heidi Klum-produced reality show competition leading up to it.

So what? There are reasons aplenty to be proud of Phoenix Fashion Week 2010. The sixth annual shindig features more than 30 emerging and established designer runway shows, swanky after-parties, designer sample sales, educational seminars, workshops, a film premier, and thousands of guests. Oh, and PFW happens to make some serious contributions to charitable organizations.

The event supports Helping Hands Arizona, Partners in Malawi (an HIV wellness center in Africa), and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Phoenix. This year, everyone will “think pink” to benefit the Komen foundation with a celebrity pink carpet event followed by the "Fashionably Pink Celebrity Runway Show."
