Upcoming Events
The Meetup @ Amongst Peers
The vision for The Meetup at is to create a network for aspiring/established designers, students, fashionistas, photographers, models, buyers, sellers, traders, bloggers and anyone interested or working in the fashion industry.
SLAY SAFE
We exist, in part, to support fashion based businesses and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to build a community and ecosystem that supports the launch and growth of fashion based businesses – and with the pandemic running rampage through our lives, what better time to support local artists and our community? CFA is teaming up with Welcoming City and the county to design, create and provide masks to underserved communities through our SLAY SAFE mask campaign.
Join the Alliance
Access exclusive member content, curse, events and connect with other members all over the city.
learn
Education is invaluable and we believe that the learning never stops. We seek to provide learning experiences throughout all that we offer from courses to trainings on how to use equipment to networking events and seminars.
MAke
This pivotal part of any process requires attention and dedication to ensure that the product delivered is at its best. With our production lab and CFA HQ (link to about cfa hq page) , we seek to support the physical creating-space needs of Columbus creatives.
Experience
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.
Innovate
Innovation can be defined in many different 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.
