Details:
You have the passion. You have the drive. You have the raw talent and skills to accomplish your dreams/calling! So what's stopping you from getting started? What's stopping you from initiating that meeting, starting that blog or fashion line? What are some practical ways to get over the fear of initiating or networking so that you can be one step closer to fulfilling your dreams?
Join Janelle Langford - Beauty and Fashion PR Entrepreneur/ Essence's "It Girl" for June/Founder of How to Make Glitter
and
Camry A'Keen - Style Editor/Designer for A'KEEN BRAND, LLC as they share their perspectives on the "beginners's process" of starting a fashion line.
Here you will get to explore the dilemma, thought process and decision making pattern that an emerging designer experiences behind the scenes.
Look out NYFW! This isn't your typical designer showcase!
The night's discussion will follow with a Q & A moderated by Artist/Actress Annika Connor. The conversation will include dialogue with the audience and participation and questions from the atendees will be highly encouraged.
