This free offer runs through April 26th , simply reserve a spot below!

"Challenging the Divide" runs deeper than simply getting women to launch startups. Many who want to start  a fashion company do not think beyond traditional lines or rather what they percieve to be the traditional opportunities! Thus far most Fashion Tech companies are approached from a retail point of view. There is need for tech innovation in  research , trending, design, production, shipping and  fullfilment and noting that some existing fashion tech companies are missng their mark with  creatives there is still room in the retail end of this sector! 

Organizers hope to show other opportujities and encourage more young entrepreneurs to enter the startup scene! The Program Start May  1st

Brooklyn Fashion is about  cooperative marketing  efforts and working towards a  sound solution. Brooklyn Fashion Week | Brooklyn Fashion  Film Festival|Brooklyn Fashion Awards ...  October/November  accordig to  designer concensus
