THE HEART OF INDEPENDENT FASHION
About Indie Fashion Show
The Largest Independent Fashion Production in the U.S.
Indie Fashion Show is more than just a runway—it’s a movement. As the largest independent fashion production in the U.S., we provide a powerful platform for emerging designers, models, and creatives to showcase their talent, build their brands, and connect with industry leaders.
With an annual tour spanning 16 cities across the country, Indie Fashion Show is at the forefront of independent fashion, offering unparalleled opportunities for exposure, entrepreneurship, and career development. Our commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and artistic freedom fuels a new generation of fashion disruptors ready to redefine the industry.
Empowering the Next Generation of Creatives
Fashion has long been dominated by mainstream brands, but Indie Fashion is rewriting the narrative. More than just a platform for emerging talent, we are a catalyst for change, ensuring that the next generation of designers, models, stylists, and entrepreneurs have the resources, representation, and opportunities to succeed.
Creating Opportunities Through Education
At the core of Indie Fashion’s mission is education and skill development. By integrating fashion into high school curricula through hands-on Fashion Design Programs, students gain real-world experience in:
Sewing & garment construction
Fashion design & illustration
Stage production & runway management
Marketing & brand development
Photography & media content creation
Through collaborations with institutions such as Cass Tech, Mumford High School, and the Boys and Girls Club, students receive the tools they need to transform their passion into a career. Our programs incorporate STEM elements, teaching the science behind textiles, the technology of digital fashion, and the business strategies behind sustainable brands.
A Platform for Independent Creatives
Indie Fashion Show is built on the foundation of inclusivity, creativity, and entrepreneurship. We highlight underrepresented voices in fashion, creating space for designers who push boundaries and redefine industry norms.
From high-energy runway showcases and pop-up shops to brand collaborations and community-driven initiatives, we are reshaping the independent fashion scene—one city at a time.
Entrepreneurship & Financial Independence
Indie Fashion isn’t just about creativity—it’s about ownership. Young designers and stylists are encouraged to think like business owners, not just artists. Through vendor partnerships, brand sponsorships, and retail showcases, emerging talent learns how to:
Market and sell their collections
Establish sustainable fashion brands
Leverage digital platforms for growth
Network with key industry leaders
Expanding the Vision With Media & Technology
With the launch of Indie Fashion TV and Indie Fashion Magazine, a new era of fashion storytelling has emerged. Independent creatives no longer wait for traditional media to recognize their work—they create their own platforms to share their stories.
