discover new lines with a fresh, independent and
ethical approach to design. Along with that,
this has become an amazing networking and
promotional event for the local fashion
industry." - Julie McCullough Kim

regional boutiques and buyers an opportunity to view
independent lines under one roof, meet with the
designers and even discuss future business opportunities
at the Pre-Event Cocktail Hour. Retailers and Buyers can

guests and retailers be the first to see the
latest in independent fashion on the runway,
they will be a part of a purchasing power that
is about supporting their local economies and
businesses, as each line is produced in the
local region of each designer. This year The Pin
