Norfolk, VA - Waterside District is pleased to announce a new partnership with Splash Model Management for VA Fashion Week 2017. The festivities, which span an entire week, will culminate with a runway show on Saturday, November 11th at Waterside District's Harbor Club.

"All of us involved with VA Fashion Week are absolutely thrilled to be working with Waterside District for our 2017 season," said Ann Ward Leister, owner of Splash Model Management.
