The Fuerteventura Island Council has increased the funding allocated to Fuerteventura Fashion Week with the aim of consolidating this event as a benchmark in the fashion sector in the Canary Islands. The event, which also has the support of the Puerto del Rosario City Council, has received a total of 60,000 euros from the Canary Islands Development Fund (FDCAN), as established in the agreement signed by the Minister of Economic Promotion, Nuria Cabrera, and the brand's representative, Rosa María Perdomo.
This contribution boosts an event that serves as a showcase for Canarian designers and reinforces the island's position as a center for creation and a cultural destination internationally. Minister Nuria Cabrera emphasized that "Fuerteventura has talent, creativity, and much to offer. In this regard, this event represents a strong commitment to our designers, professionals, and an industry that generates and projects the island's name."
The organization views Fuerteventura Fashion Week as a unique opportunity to showcase the talent of Canarian designers and consolidate the island as the fashion capital of the archipelago. Furthermore, the event contributes to positioning Fuerteventura as an attractive destination for fashion sector visitors, including professionals, media, and influencers, and stimulates strategic sectors such as hospitality, catering, commerce, and services, generating direct and indirect employment.
