If you treat like a federal holiday, we understand you on a visceral level 🙌🏻

This time of year gets us thinking about the future of fashion. What’s next? Who will bring it to us? Could they be someone we know? Maybe they grew up right here in Pittsburgh.

We are SO happy this day has arrived.

"It's been 10 years since the men's magazine GQ declared Pittsburgh among the worst-dressed cities in America (to add insult to injury, we were ranked third out of 40). Since then, however, the city has slowly begun to shed its "gameday casual" look with the help of local designers. Some of these producers of clothing and accessories will receive a boost from Style412, a nonprofit organization that champions “conscious fashion” and supports those working in the fashion industry here in Pittsburgh."

Thank you Dani Janae + the Pittsburgh City Paper for these beautiful words and sharing the news about our latest Showroom program.

Showroom - our new, digital retail accelerator - will highlight emerging fashion designers in a highly curated platform while giving them the tools and knowledge to thrive in the digital world.

Over the next several weeks, eight designers will work with our team of creatives and marketing mentors to enhance their brands, create some stunning content and showcase their products in the online Showroom, which will launch mid-July.

We're excited to share some BTS photos from our Showroom photoshoot!

Mark your calendars for next week! https://nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/slowing-down-fast-fashion-for-fashion-revolution-week/

Slowing down fast fashion for Fashion Revolution Week Fast fashion has also been criticized for its “throw-away” culture, as new styles so quickly supplant older garments. The man-made fabrics used also shed microfibers, a form of microplastics that pollute waterways, drinking water and affect aquatic life.

Thanks for the great article Sara Bauknecht! We couldn't be more excited for the Showroom accelerator. Last day to apply is this Friday ✨
