The spotlight was on local style at RAK Brewing on Wednesday, where Frederick Fashion Boutique and Be Local Frederick teamed up to host a fashion show celebrating creativity, community, and confidence.
The event transformed the brewery into a runway, showcasing the boutique’s latest looks while highlighting the talent and diversity within Frederick.
The mission behind the show was to uplift small businesses, spotlight local designers, and create space where fashion could be both accessible and empowering. Be Local Frederick, a community brand dedicated to supporting small businesses and celebrating Frederick’s unique culture, partnered in the effort to bring visibility to local talent. Models featured in the show included community members, entrepreneurs, and familiar Frederick faces, each bringing their own personality and energy to the runway. Their presence reflected the heart of the event; fashion is never just about clothes, but who’s wearing it -— it’s about celebrating individuality and the people who make Frederick unique.
