A first of its kind industry networking event is being launched in Vallejo. Are you a fashion designer looking to promote your new line? Are you a photographer looking to collaborate on a new shoot? Are you a model looking to update your portfolio? Then Fashion Forward Industry Mixer is the event you want to attend.
Fashion Forward is an industry networking event for those who are looking to expand their contact list, meet new people to collaborate with or are looking for new opportunities. It is an event for fashion designers, photographers, models, hairstylists, makeup artists, bloggers, boutique owners and stylists.
The purpose of the event is to provide a platform for fashion minded people to connect. To help bridge the gap emerging talent faces when trying to break into an industry while missing the right contacts.
Upon arrival guests get color coded name tags to help them navigate the crowd. Each color represents a trade in the fashion industry. The point? To help find the right people to network with. If someone is looking for, let’s say, a photographer, then all they need to do is scan the room for green name tags. It helps make networking efficient when looking for someone specific.
Of course, if the purpose of attending the event is to expand one’s fashion network and meet new people in the industry, then the name tags serve as a conversation starter. Hey I see you’re a makeup artists. Any interesting shoots you’ve done recently?… And the conversation had started.
In Vallejo there are very few networking events and none are dedicated to fashion. That’s why we thought it would be a great idea to launch recurring industry events for people in fashion to network.
This Team Superstore & Iscah Uzza Fashion House supported event is brought to you by three of Vallejo's finest businesses; Cosmebar, A Man & His Hats & Camari Henderson Design on October 5th, 2013.
Why would someone want to attend these events? Ever heard the saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”. That is so true in the fashion industry. More often than not the greatest opportunities come from people we know. And networking is the best way to get to know the right people.
