LEARN ABOUT THE FUTURE OF FASHION
We are teaming up with My Brother’s Keeper to hire young Black men this summer to earn while learning about the business of fashion.
Each week the interns are learning about design, technical design, sourcing, materials, suppliers, styling, merchandising, marketing/branding, innovation, and more. Interns will have a chance to engage, ask questions, and document their learning in their program workbooks.

Education is invaluable and we believe that the learning never stops. We seek to provide learning experiences throughout all that we offer.
Making pivotal part of any process requires attention and dedication to ensure that the product delivered is at its best. With our Production & Design Labs, we seek to support Columbus creatives with creating-spaces equipped with industry grade equipment.
Innovation can be defined in many ways yet all with the same conclusion- to reinvent or rethink the way in which things are done. Fashion is an industry that is constantly asking “What’s next?” in trends and style but we need to extend that question into all areas of the industry- from the creative side to the business side. That is exactly what this pillar is here to do- to push boundaries and ways of thinking.
How we experience things has been rapidly changing from the shift in how retail is experienced to the high demand for safety precautions. Now more than ever, creating an experience for our consumers has become the key of a successful brand. We are dedicated to help our artists curate incredible fashion experiences for their audiences.
