Founded by visionary entrepreneur and community leader Latoya Scott, FTM Fashion Week, short for Final Touch Models Fashion Week, is more than a runway show. It is a global celebration of style, creativity, and purpose, dedicated to empowering emerging designers, models, and entrepreneurs from around the world.

​

Founded in 2013, FTM Fashion Week presented its first showcase in 2014. FTM Fashion Week has evolved from a local showcase in Jacksonville, North Carolina, into a national platform and international movement. Each season highlights not only cutting-edge fashion but also deeper values: community empowerment, youth development, and legacy building.

​

From New York City to Okinawa, Japan, FTM Fashion Week bridges cultures, connects communities, and opens doors of opportunity for creative talent worldwide. With features such as model bootcamps, teen entrepreneur vendor programs, scholarship support, and VIP experiences, FTM Fashion Week continues to redefine what it means to blend fashion with purpose.
