Celia Evans and Planet Fashion: How One Entrepreneur Built a Global Fashion Events and Media Company

October 5, 2026

In an industry where trends change with every season, lasting success depends on vision, consistency and the ability to bring the right people together. For Celia Evans, founder of Planet Fashion, those qualities have defined more than a decade of work at the meeting point of fashion, live events and media. What she started over ten years ago has grown into a company that owns three fashion week platforms, produces content for some of the world’s best-known brands and serves as the agency of record for mega-retailer Forever21.

Experience Built Event by Event

Celia brings twelve years of experience as an event organizer and producer of media content. That background gave her a clear understanding of both sides of the modern fashion business: the energy of the runway and the power of the content that carries it to audiences around the world. Rather than treating events and media as separate services, she built Planet Fashion to deliver both under one roof.

Her leadership has also reached beyond the business world. Celia was the youngest person elected to the Miami film and entertainment advisory board by the County commissioners, a role she held for four years. More recently, she received the city’s Fashion Icon Award, which recognized her for advancing the culture of the Miami fashion scene as well as for her civic work. For an entrepreneur whose company has deep roots in the city, the honor reflects a career that has combined commercial success with genuine commitment to her community.

A Portfolio of Fashion Weeks

A key part of Planet Fashion’s growth has been ownership. Instead of only producing events for others, the company owns three established fashion week brands: Miami Swimwear Fashion Week, Sustainable New York Fashion Week and Monaco Swimwear Fashion Week.

Each platform serves a distinct space in the industry. The two swimwear events connect designers with one of fashion’s most visual and fast-moving categories, in destinations closely linked to resort and beach culture. Sustainable New York Fashion Week gives a stage to a conversation that continues to shape the future of fashion. Owning these platforms gives Planet Fashion long-term assets, recurring events and a strong position within the industry calendar.

The company’s reach extends far beyond its own events. Celia has produced large-scale fashion events in Milan, Paris, Marrakech, New York, Oslo, London, Cannes, San Francisco and Atlanta. Working across so many markets requires more than creative ideas. It demands careful planning, reliable partnerships and the ability to deliver high-quality productions in very different cultural and business settings.

Trusted by Global and Growing Brands

Planet Fashion’s client list reflects the level of trust Celia has earned. She has created content and events with multinational brands including Levi’s, BMW, Evian, Taittinger, Roberto Cavalli and Lacoste, among others. These partnerships span fashion, luxury, automotive and lifestyle, showing how fashion events and content have become valuable marketing tools for brands well beyond the runway.

At the same time, the company continues to support emerging and mid-level brands, producing content and events that help them build visibility and reach new audiences. This balance between global names and growing labels keeps the business diverse and connected to new talent in the industry.

Perhaps most notably, Planet Fashion serves as the agency of record for Forever21, a role that places the company at the center of a major retailer’s creative and marketing activity.

The Team Behind the Brand

Behind every event and campaign is a team that has grown alongside the company. Celia’s committed teams of creatives, digital marketers and video production crew have been with her since Planet Fashion’s inception. In a fast-paced industry where turnover is common, that kind of loyalty is a strong sign of steady leadership and a shared vision.

The company has also built a smart structure around its content. Planet Fashion’s content licensing and sales are handled in-house and through third-party agents, Evolve Media advertising agency and Princeton Media Group. This model allows the media the company produces to keep generating value long after an event ends, turning single productions into lasting business assets.

Upcoming event:

This fall, Celia and Planet Fashion will present The Next Movement — Grand Opening Celebration of BMW of Long Island City, a new all-glass architectural landmark designed as a dynamic cultural and community hub for New York City. Taking place Friday, October 9, 2026, from 6:30-10:00 PM, the black-tie gala will bring the entire building to life with live performances by local artists, including Broadway star N’Kenge, immersive entertainment from Brooklyn’s House of Yes, and full-service catering by Mark Fahrer. Guests can also enjoy poker and blackjack rooms, an open-air lounge overlooking the Manhattan skyline, and BMW’s latest vehicles showcased throughout the glass-enclosed showroom.

A Model for Modern Entrepreneurs

Celia Evans’ journey offers a clear example of how an entrepreneur can turn industry experience into a scalable business. By owning platforms, building lasting brand partnerships, keeping a loyal team and creating multiple revenue streams from content, she has positioned Planet Fashion as a respected name in fashion events and media across the United States and internationally.

After more than a decade in business, Planet Fashion continues to connect designers, brands and audiences around the world, with Celia Evans leading the way.
