Like fashion weeks in New York, London, Paris, Milan, Sydney, and wherever else (okay, maybe not exactly like, since those events are built around debuting collections for the next big season), Bellevue Fashion Week is a tangle of shopping events, trunk shows, styling opportunities, runway events, and more.

Here, we’re breaking out the three things you most need to know about, and leaving you to access the Bellevue Fashion Week listings to figure out what else suits your interests and availability. (Don’t miss the complementary in-store events—scroll all the way thru the previous link—if you want in on the action, but are hoping to put all your dough toward your own wardrobe. Hey, it’s understandable.)

1. Wednesday September 28; Girl Power Hour’s Fourth Anniversary
Each year during BFW, the networkers and good time gals of Girl Power Hour throw a birthday bash. And they invite the dudes. This year’s festivities include a live fashion presentation, a try-it-on beauty bar, swag bags, and lots of meeting and greeting. Ladies and gentlemen, you may get your tickets via the GPH website.

2. Thursday September 29; Nordstrom’s Fall Fashion Show
Missed Designer Preview? Don’t miss this. The BFW Nordstrom show puts fall fashion on the runway, and then in post-show boutiques for easy and immediate access. This show benefits the Detlef Schrempf Foundation; grab tickets via their site.

3. Saturday Oct. 1; the main event: Front Row Fashion presented by Vogue
The magazine you love to love brings fall trends from the shops to the runway. Get inspired and see how to style all the looks you’ve got your eyes on. Proceeds benefit the Moyer Foundation; there are two ticket price levels; "all access" or VIP comes with special offers at stores like Aritzia and Zebra Club. Go to Brown Paper tickets to purchase them.
