Hosted at the Sample’s Shipyard
“Nautical Haute Couture. Fishing netting for lace, sailcloth for dresses, maps turn into shoes, rope for ornamental braiding, life jackets become totes … these fishing industry materials and gear are used to create charming, often breathtaking clothing for the Fishin’ For Fashion Show.” – Lisa Kristoff 2019 Boothbay Register Article
Over a decade of Nautical Elegance & Creativity! Fishin’ for Fashion is a one-of-a-kind runway show where the sea meets style! This beloved Boothbay Harbor tradition returns to Samples Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor with stunning, hand-crafted designs made from fishing gear, buoys, sailcloth, and other maritime materials.
