In a place where all things "designer" are in demand, Hamptons Fashion Week makes sense. The three-day event returns for a fourth year starting Friday, with the Southampton Arts Center playing host.

Included will be live runway shows, shop-the-runway sessions, a cocktail party and invitation-only brunch, book signings, food tastings, and an awards show. Honorees are Nicole Miller for Designer of the Year, Cesar Galindo for Trendsetter of the Year, Constance White for the Fashion Media Award, and Gloria Lee as a rising industry star.

Partial proceeds will be donated to the Ellen Hermanson Foundation. Details are at hamptonsfashionweek.com.
