On the heels of New York’s fashion week, SEAM COLLECTIVE, an organization promoting women fashion designers, will host FENOMENON, an evening of edgy fashion, music, dance, art and more, featuring some of the industry’s most exciting emerging female designers.

The event will benefit WomenRising, a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting women at risk in Hudson County N. J., and will be held at CANCO lofts, the landmark condo conversion of Jersey City’s Art Deco American Can Co. factory building. Fifty percent of the net proceeds generated by FENOMENON will be donated to WomenRising. These fundraising efforts will help build current programs that assist women and their families achieve self sufficiency through economic development, social and advocacy services.

SEAM COLLECTIVE is the brainchild of five friends who are enmeshed in the fashion and entertainment industries. Formed in 2005, the organization’s main objective is to provide female designers with opportunities to advance in the industry by creating forums to showcase their talents. FENOMENON is the second fashion show SEAM COLLECTIVE has produced since its inception. In the spring of 2006, the organization hosted a fashion show in Soho, attracting over 350 attendees.

Smashing Darling is proud to be a sponsor of this years Seam Collective Fenomenon fashion show. To get your tickets click here. It is sure to be a fabulous evening so I hope we will see you there!
