CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Baker Motor Company Charleston Fashion Week® (CFW), one of the nation's leading fashion events, today announced that tickets for the March 15-19, 2016 event are now on sale, and that high-profile fashion designers Creatures of the Wind and Tracy Reese will be the event's closing weekend Featured Designers.

Creatures of the Wind will be featured on Friday, March 18, 2016.
