This money will provide fantastic support to our area designers! All funds raised will go towards The Fashion Arts Collective’s designer education and workshop needs.
The funding from our contributors and sponsors allow us to expand awareness and appreciation for the art of Fashion Design as exhibited through talent right here in the Midwest.
This support encourages those who are pursuing the arts as a profession and provides valuable life skills such as confidence, team-work, self-expression and discipline.
During our satellite parties we also presented our rebranding from the Fashion Institute Midwest!
The new name ‘Fashion Arts Collective’ emphasizes what embodies our group. As Mentoring & Opportunities Chair, Sam Hohman, put it:
“the new name truly describes exactly who we are in our DNA. Fashion: the industry that is our core, Arts: because fashion is a true artform and Collective: as it takes each and every one of us to make this work to support designers and the fashion design community.”
