My Sister’s Closet & Well Suited Debut as Runway Show Space at OC Fashion Week® Newport Beach Location Transforms Into Runway for First-Ever Show as The Luxury Market of California® Kicks Off the Year
Newport Beach, CA — February 2026 — My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited, two standout fashion destinations within the Eco-Chic Consignments portfolio, are proud to announce their official partnership with OC Fashion Week® (OCFW) as an Official Runway Show Space for the Spring 2026 season.
For the first time, the brands’ Newport Beach location will be fully transformed into a runway show environment, hosting an elevated fashion production that merges luxury retail, community engagement, and experiential style in the heart of Orange County.
As OC Fashion Week® continues to spotlight Orange County as The Luxury Market of California®, My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited bring a powerful and distinctive voice to the season: one rooted in community, sustainability, access, and the celebration of personal style — for both women’s and men’s fashion alike.
With a strong presence across Arizona and Southern California, including Newport Beach and Encinitas, the brands have become trusted destinations for designer fashion with purpose, offering shoppers and consignors a high-touch experience that extends far beyond traditional retail.
“This partnership is a natural reflection of what My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited stand for,” said Heather Zorge, Chief Executive Officer of Eco-Chic Consignments. “We’ve always believed fashion should feel inspiring, inclusive, and connected to the community. Hosting OC Fashion Week in our Newport Beach store allows us to celebrate personal style across both women’s and men’s fashion in a truly meaningful way.”
The activation represents a growing shift in the fashion industry toward immersive, experience-driven retail, where shopping becomes storytelling, and brands become gathering spaces.
In the weeks leading up to the runway event, past OC Fashion Week® designers and style partners will activate within the store through curated trunk shows, in-store appearances, and exclusive shopping moments, building momentum toward the full runway presentation.
The show will feature styled runway looks from My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited, blending luxury consignment, contemporary menswear, and elevated production in a way that reflects the future of fashion retail: sustainable, community-forward, and experience-led.
“Transforming retail spaces into runway environments creates an immersive experience where fashion feels social, accessible, and connected to real shopping,” said Kathryn Marino, President and Executive Producer of OC Fashion Week®. “My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited are a natural fit for this evolution.”
More than a single evening, this partnership is designed to drive long-term brand visibility, foot traffic, and deeper community connection — reinforcing My Sister’s Closet and Well Suited’s role as fashion leaders not only in Orange County, but across their broader regional footprint.
OC Fashion Week®’s official television series, Behind the Seams, will re-air runway season broadcasts in late April on LATV, featuring designer interviews and highlights from the catwalk.
