While contributing to the ongoing efforts of local nonprofits through charitable giving. Peoria Fashion Week (PFW) is Central Illinois’ premier fashion and creative arts event, dedicated to spotlighting local and regional talent while connecting our community through style, culture, and innovation. Launched by Chanel Hargrave-Murry and Ezra Murry, PFW brings the energy and glamour of major fashion
capitals to the heart of Peoria. Each year, the event features runway shows, designer showcases, live entertainment, and youth-led initiatives that empower the next generation of artists, models, and creators. Peoria Fashion Week is more than fashion—it’s about community, creativity, and culture. From youth fashion classes through the Peoria Fashion Week Academy to partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits, PFW aims to inspire growth, provide opportunities, and celebrate diversity in the arts.
