Damn. Midwest Fashion Week canceled for October.

It's gotten mixed press for years now, and they've canceled the fall event with less than a month's notice? What's going on, Berny?

I received the press release below:

INDIANAPOLIS, September 24, 2013—While Fashion Week is currently underway in the major fashion capitals of the world, sources from the local Midwestern staple, started in 2006, are releasing details regarding the highly anticipated events. Originally slated for October 14-19, 2013, Midwest Fashion Week events for the fall season have been cancelled, with planning for the Spring/Summer 2014 show already in the works.

Midwest Fashion Week Founder, Berny Martin, says event followers are not to worry about the future of the bi-annual event series stating, “While we regret to inform our fans and supporters that our October 2013 events are cancelled, we currently have some exciting things happening behind the scenes. We know this will mean a bigger and brighter future for Midwest Fashion Week and look forward to bringing our best show yet, which we are excited to announce will take place the week of March 17, 2014.”

In the wake of cancellation, the event series, known for bringing awareness to the Midwest’s fashion industry, is currently focusing on building relationships to take Midwest Fashion Week to new levels.

What do you think of this? I haven't been to a MFW because so far, when I've had the time, I haven't had the money, and when I've had the money, I haven't had the time.
