BELLA Media + Co. Joins Fashion Forward Week as Official Media Partner
This September, Fashion Forward Week (FFW) debuts in New York City, reimagining the traditional fashion week format with a bold, future-focused lens. BELLA Media + Co. is proud to join as an official press partner, with our own CEO + Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Coppes taking the stage as a featured speaker and moderator.
Founded by fashion industry veteran Jordana Guimarães, FFW blends storytelling, inclusivity, and innovation into an immersive five-day series of presentations that replace the runway with dynamic, lifestyle-driven showcases. Guests will step into the world of each brand through live model installations, interactive technology, and conversations with founders and CEOs on the mainstage.

Meet The Speakers
Each day will be powered by leading technology companies — including Contour Lab, RAMM, and lookingGLASS — bridging the gap between fashion and innovation.
FFW is also launching a groundbreaking private social networking platform in partnership with Candice Pascoal of Alfredus.co’s Digital Nation, designed to connect luxury leaders, innovators, and creatives year-round. This invite-only community ensures the conversations sparked at Fashion Forward Week extend far beyond the season.
With brands like Stuart Trevor, Doobie Duke Sims, Joanna MacDonald of Piper & Skye, and Smart Swimwear, alongside platform innovators like Upcyclers.com, FFW promises to deliver exclusivity, innovation, community, and connectivity — a true redefinition of what fashion week can be.
Fashion never pauses. Neither should our connections.
