Carey Price
Runway Director

Carey Price returns this year as Runway Director, bringing her passion for fashion, keen eye for styling, and industry experience back to the show. A Connecticut native, Carey grew up in the coastal town of Norwalk, where her love for fashion first began. Inspired by the way clothing can empower confidence and express individuality, she pursued her passion at Parsons School of Design before working with leading designers in the fashion industry. Her career eventually brought her to Paris, where she gained experience working with Vogue.

Today, Carey is the founder of Cove Collective, a Westport-based boutique built around the belief that fashion is an art form and a powerful tool for self-expression. Through thoughtfully curated collections and a welcoming community-focused space, she encourages women to embrace their personal style with confidence.

As Runway Director, Carey brings creativity, organization, and a stylist’s perspective to the runway, helping shape a show that celebrates individuality, style, and the artistry of fashion. We’re thrilled to welcome her back for another year!
