Two local designers who attended our Focus Group on June 28th, 2011: Zone6 Handbags and RocknRoyaltySF Jewelry. We loved meeting them and giving them advice on their line! They gained valuable insight on how to develop their brand and make it appeal to their target market.
The workshop was led by FashionMarketSF Founder, Leslie Lum, and Sales Consultant, Karri Ann Frerichs, owner of the Altitude Showroom.
This weekend we were busy supporting our local fashion students and CCSF by going to their fashion show at Ruby Skye. It was their 10th anniversary of the event. The designers are all students at the City College. We enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful collections as well as being very entertained with the interim performances. It is very important to us that we attend fashion events like these to network and see what our industry is up to. To see this and more, go to our YouTube Channel.
Founder, Leslie Lum and Altitude Showroom owner, Karri Ann Frerichs talk about the fashion show at Ruby Skye!
We enjoyed a great class on May 16th full of a range of fashion designers from contemporary to tee-shirts, garden-wear, eco-friendly and jewelry! See photos of designers presenting their collections to the group for feedback to learn if they are “Market Ready!”
Attendees included: Field Day Wearables, Sonas Denim, Ecolett, Velvet Otterhound, R by Reeti, Michael Williams Graphic Handpainted Tees, Jennifer Ly Contemporary Women’s Apparel, Gardens of California, with special website presentation by Alylee.com, and Liz Caruana Photography.
