I have known Alicia Zeigler since the founding of what is now known as Columbia Fashion Week. Alicia has an infectious personality and is always willing to help, network and inspire. During the partnership between CFW and WACH Fox News I have had the pleasure of hosting, serving as a guest panelist and even ripping the runway. Alicia has always been very accommodating. She is one of the few people in the city who I never hesitate to answer the call for because I know she'd do the same for me. I look forward to what's ahead for her because I know it will be fabulous and uplifting! - 7/2017

Their was absolutely fabulous! We had a few scheduling conflicts and they were with us every step of the way. Alicia and her team were incredibly responsive and flexible. We weren't completely satisfied with our first round, but with additional feedback and a new set of parameters, they widened their search and found us exactly what we were looking for!

I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia in June of 2013 during Columbia Style Week. Previously, Alicia and I had been in communication because she invited me to be panelist for the 2013 Fashion Panel during Columbia Style Week. I along with my guests were pleased from the moment we arrived. The CSW team were professional and their hospitality was first class. It is evident that Alicia is an artist at heart, and as a fellow creative director I can easily notice that her passion exudes through her work. I greatly admire Alicia as a visionary and as a craftsman for what she has built with her brand extensions. Alicia is nothing short of a pioneer and I look forward to seeing her visions grow to higher heights. I am deeply humbled and honored that she considered me enough to be a "voice" during her event. It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation. If you're making a choice to work with Alicia you are making a choice to win! 1/3/14

Micah Hurt, Runway Model

I had the joy of meeting Alicia during one of the Concord Fashion Week Audition she was directing in Charlotte. I have never met someone so full of kindness and generosity in the entertainment industry. Alicia goes above and beyond to make people seen and she has this impeccable ability to not only bring people together but elevate them to a whole new level. In my short time working with her, she has set me up with landing my first ever fashion campaign for a local clothing company and provided me the opportunity to appear on a fashion segment for WLTX News 19’s NYE Famously Hot event. Alicia is radiant, focused, knowledgeable, driven and determined. Best of all, Alicia believes in the work she does and the people she works with.
