Merging Fashion and Philanthropy
The Tampa Bay Fashion Experience
At Tampa Bay Fashion Experience the passion for merging fashion and philanthropy goes beyond the runway. The mission is to blend style and substance to create unforgettable charity events with an exclusive fashion experience. As well as being a minority and women owned-business, the organization thrives on community support, which enables them to give back to deserving local non-profit organizations.
“My vision is to create new fashion experiences in Tampa that set TBFE apart from the conventional show and elevate the standard for Tampa fashion productions, all while raising funds and awareness for local charities,” said Taneka Bowles, Tampa Bay Fashion Experience CEO and Founder.
This season, the wonderful benefactors from the events are Dress for Success, Centre for Women, and Kids in Diapers. We look forward to serving these charities and many more in the future.
“Being the wife of an NFL head coach and the mother of 3 student athletes has kept me quite busy over the years,” said Bowles. “My guys are my world! I love the fact that they have always been supportive of me having a personal undertaking that feeds my spirit and TBFE does just that. Blending fashion and philanthropy has been a dream of mine for some time, and I’d like to thank the people in the city of Tampa for making it possible!”
