Scottsdale Fashion Week, presented by Purely Sedona, will be postponed to Sept. 24-27.

Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations --- in partnership with Ford Robert Black Agency and J Group Media --- decided in the best interest for the safety and well-being of the community, according to a press release.

The four-day fashion event will now be in the fall but will feature the same venues as originally planned, the release said.

“This was not an easy decision and certainly not one we took lightly,” said Steve LeVine, CEO of SLE, in a prepared statement.

“We have taken extraordinary efforts to ensure the safety of the public, however in wake of the President’s Declaration of National Emergency, and Governor Doug Ducey’s recommendation to cancel all events over 50 people, it is in the best interests of our attendees, staff and all people involved that the event is postponed.

We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials and the CDC.”

All purchased tickets will be honored on those dates, the release noted, adding that information on refunds for ticket-purchasers unable to attend on the new dates will be available at a later time.

More information on designers for the fall fashion shows will be released.
