- At Inside Fashion Design, we believe in bringing people together through networking events, workshops, or simply creating spaces where designers, makers, and fashion enthusiasts can inspire one another and you can join us too!
- This led to the development of Inside Fashion Design, which serves as an on and offline resource, offering workshops and events for those in the fashion industry. These small workshops led to big things for the fashion community. We found that after those workshops, those dozen or so people just wanted to hang out and connect further and network, said Britta. So, it just started naturally and organically forming this little community. Britta has worked to continue to build this community, and is currently working on the 2020 Ethical Fashion Festival, which will be held November 5-7.
You can offer value in various ways: early or exclusive access, special events, input into product designs, discounted product, etc. Get creative! Its important to ensure that the value you offer is what your community actually wants. Dont be afraid to simply ask them what is important to them. You might find that you dont have to give away free product because your community really just wants to get involved and meet other people who care as much as they do about a brand like yours. This can be especially effective if your fashion business is focused on trending topics like ethical fashion, supporting low-income or marginalized communities, or environmentally sustainable fashion.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Fashion Design Community Building.
