Reminder! Comment to win a copy of Fashion Unraveled: In this book Jennifer shares lessons she has learned from good decisions and bad as she built her fashion brand. The chapters and worksheets in the book are short and sweet so you can attack them in small doses. Read more…
More darlings coming together to help designers…that always makes our hearts sing! There isn’t a website to link to yet, but we’ll let you know when there is. Guilded brought to you by STUDY NY and Bahar Shapar.
GUILDED is almost ready to launch with our series of classes and training in sustainable design and methods, workshops and master classes in artisan techniques and a platform for collaborative community. In the meantime, though, we’d like to celebrate the month of April (Earth Month) with a whole bunch of exciting events. (Email for more info: guildedstate@gmail.com)
Fabric & Trim Sale
Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10
Do you have extra fabric, notions, trims or accessories that you know you’ll never use just taking up space in your studio/home? If so, it’s time to get rid of it all. Purge, purge, purge! We’re going to do a major marketing push in the design schools (Pratt, Parsons, FIT, SVA) to offer students low-priced fabrics for their final projects and other designers new fabrics to use. This event is a way to dispose of excess without contributing to the waste stream, and a way to share sustainable and vintage fabrics with students and young designers. As with the sample sale we will offer master checkout, staffing and bags. However, since we imagine everyone has different quantities of stock, the fee will be 20% of sales instead of the flat rate we charge for sample sales.
Also for NY darlings: Artist & Fleas wants to help too, learn about In Good Company and BizLabs for mini-classes to help with some challenges you may face growing your business.
