Three nights of events are planned at Eastwood Mall in Niles for Fashion Week.

It starts with a Prom Fashion Show from 6 to 8 p.m. March 5.

At 6 p.m. March 6 will be an Animal Welfare League “Dog & Catwalk” Adoption Show. It features adoptable dogs and cats from the Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County strutting their stuff down the runway.

Following the show, mall visitors can meet these four-legged models and learn more about the adoption process.

Fashion Week concludes at 6:30 p.m. March 7 with the High School Fashion Face-Off.

ocal high schools will compete in a high stakes “FaceOff” presented by Youngstown Clothing Co. Students from participating schools will walk the runway, cheered on by their fellow classmates and school supporters.

The schools who bring the three biggest crowds to this event will reap the benefits, with monetary donations of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000 for the top three finishers.

Supporters are encouraged to register in advance at yccfaceoff26.eventbrite.com/, but they must be in attendance the night of the show to be counted.

Niles McKinley High School won the inaugural High School Fashion Face-Off, with

Newton Falls High School in second place and Cardinal Mooney High School in third place.

According to Johnny Chechitelli, Eastwood’s regional director of marketing and communications, “2025 was the first time we ever held this event and so many people showed up to support their schools that we knew we had to do it again. The schools who came up short last year know that they’ve got to pack the house this time to take home one of the top three prizes.”

The Eastwood Mall Complex is located at 5555 Youngstown-Warren Road. For more information, go to www.eastwoodmall.com.
