About

Central Valley Fashion Week was birthed by Fresno designer Anndrea "Limon" Villarreal of Ms. Limon V and WahtEvur. Formerly Zest Fest, this celebration is the intersection of arts and fashion, where various creatives of different genres and mediums come to collaborate in a nurturing, symbiotic environment. CVFW is meant to foster community and promote patronage to the talented and emerging on an attainable and growing platform.

​

Between fashion collections will be performances and brief intermissions so you may shop the artists and vendors. There will also be a designer boutique directly after the show so you may place custom orders and purchase ready to wear items hot off the runway.

​

This semi annual event is a natural evolution of Zest Fest, which was a natural evolution from annual charity fashion shows and smaller scale shows. We aim to provide an affordable and nurturing supplement to other fashion shows while providing support before, during, and after the event to participants. CVFW is proof that there are talented people outside of metropolis’. and that others are willing to travel to our humble counties; It is a testament that we can truly make something of our community if we let it grow. We hope you enjoy everyone we have hand selected to be apart of this community event. We look forward to growing it and the journey ahead.

Anndrea Villarreal brings a unique twist to runway show planning as she has curated over 20 shows both solo and featuring other designers, participated in 9 shows curated by other organizers, has a background in administration and customer service. Through all this experience, she has found what does and doesn't work, how to best cater to participants, and how to best entertain and inform guests.
