It's that time of year when we've been jonesing for fall so long that we've already stocked our wardrobes with all this season's on-trend items. Now what's a Phoenix fashionable to do? Naturally, we'll look to Phoenix Fashion Week 2013 for spring style inspiration.

This year's deluge of designers takes to the outdoor runway at Scottsdale's Talking Stick Resort from Thursday, October 3, through Saturday, October 5. Each evening, four established and four emerging designers will present their latest work. On the established roster are Project Runway contestant Bradon McDonald and Dubai-based Filipino designer Rocky Gathercole. Emerging designers include locals Medium Apparel and Doux Belle.

Shows begin nightly at 7:30 p.m. at 9800 East Indian Bend Road. Tickets are $30 to $150 per evening and available via www.phxfw2013.eventbrite.com. Visit www.phoenixfashionweek.com for more.

Oct. 1-5, 9 a.m.-10 p.m., 2013
