Fishin’ For Fashion Show

"Nautical Haute Couture. Fishing netting for lace, sailcloth for dresses, maps turn into shoes, rope for ornamental braiding, life jackets become totes … these fishing industry materials and gear are used to create charming, often breathtaking clothing for the Fishin' For Fashion Show." - Lisa Kristoff 2019 Boothbay Register Article

Celebrating 10 Years of Nautical Elegance & Creativity! Join us for a milestone year as we celebrate a decade of Fishin' for Fashion, a one-of-a-kind runway show where the sea meets style!
