Spearheading an ambitious undertaking like the first-ever Fashion Week San Diego and executing it with such class and courage as she did, despite a few unanticipated bumps along the way, just completely blew our team away. We have tremendous respect for her and what she has accomplished, not to mention her fearless, savvy approach to challenging projects, and we can’t wait to work with her again.”

-Sarah Daoust 944 Editor San Diego

“My business relationship with Allsion Andrews, goes back a couple of years now.
We first met at a SD Fashion event that APA consulting was throwing. I was thrilled to meet someone who was bringing the buzz, excitement and unity to SD’s very slumber Fashion community. This hard working fashionista seems to be one of the major Fashion power players who always seems to be spearheading any fashion event we attend
in San Diego. She is so dedicated, devoted and happy about keeping San Diego as hip as possible!
I feel Allison and team did an amazing job pulling off San Diego’s first Bi- National
Fashion Week (FWSD).
In spite of the physical and emotional challenges that were presented,
the event came off as an inspiration to all Designers, Stylists, consumers and Media folk who attended the event. It was a blast! We clearly know SD is not a major fashion mecca such as NYC, Paris or Milan, but APA consulting, 944 magazine and all of the events contributors brought an event to life that truly sparked San Diego’s Rebirth of Cool!”

- Jeff Catalano Lust 4 Luxe Handbags San Diego

“Allison Andrews and her organization pulled off the feat of launching San Diego’s first ever Fashion Week, a huge undertaking. My team provided video coverage of the fashion show runway event, and we were impressed by the amount of community participation as well as how smoothly the event came off. Allison has certainly displayed her skills as an organizer, promoter and marketer with this accomplishment. We’re excited to work with her company to help serve the branding and marketing needs of retail and fashion companies.”

— Ron Marcus, CEO, Shindy Media & Shindy.TV, San Diego’s Modern Lifestyle Web TV
