Dolly Parton’s legacy is stitched into the very fabric of Tennessee. 

From the rhinestones that sparkle under the Nashville lights to the humble warmth of her Coat of Many Colors, Dolly has always reminded us that beauty isn’t about having the most… it’s about making something meaningful from what you have.

She turned rhinestones into a signature, songs into stories, and a life rooted in humble beginnings into a legacy that has lifted millions.

We celebrate the woman who showed us that you can be glamorous and grounded, larger than life and still deeply connected to where you came from.

Because Dolly has always made room for everyone at the table—and somehow, she’s made Nashville feel a little more like home. 

ā€œFind out who you are and do it on purpose.ā€ — Dolly Parton taken in Nashville, Tennessee by @nashfashweek

Nashville, thank you! A whirlwind 2 days in Music City to celebrate my cookbook FAMILY STYLE. 

So grateful to my friend @masulla @nashfashweek for hosting me. Thank you Chef @arnoldmyintbna of the iconic @imnashville for creating an amazing one night only meal inspired by my cookbook and  @eatavo for the best happy hour.

Being in Nashville during AAPI Heritage Month  was so meaningful as it was a chance to highlight community leaders from  @apimidtn and @givingkitchen - these folks are doing the work to support and celebrate Nashville’s diversity- so this trip was so more than about my book- it was about community- thank you to everyone who came and supported! Y’all really turned out. 

The work of bridging fashion, food, community and heritage means everything to me, and having that seen and celebrated is such a gift. Thank you Nashville, for the warmest welcome and for continuing to create space for these stories. šŸ™āœØ

Fashion, food, hospitality, music, art, and culture all work together to tell the story of who we are as a city.

A very special thank you to our incredible special guest @petersom and event partners @arnoldmyintbna @annamyint and the entire @imnashville team for sharing your talents, your stories, and your generosity with all of us for Feast On Fashion. 

Peter’s work has long beautifully bridged fashion, food, storytelling, and heritage in such an authentic and inspiring way. And The Myint family, through International Market are such an important part of Nashville’s cultural and culinary fabric. Spaces like this remind us that food is not just nourishment… it’s connection, identity, memory, and community. 

We celebrated AAPI Heritage Month with our community partners @apimidtn @givingkitchen. Events like this are an opportunity not only to celebrate the contributions of Nashville’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, but to continue creating visibility, investment, and space for diverse voices and stories to thrive.

Through the Nashville Fashion Forward Fund, we remain deeply committed to investing in the next generation of creative talent right here in Middle Tennessee. Be sure to give us a follow and subscribe to our email list at nashvillefashionweek.com for updates and news!
