Fashion Movers and Shakers Unite

The fashion industry in Grand Rapids is growing. That’s right! And it’s exemplified again this year with the Sept. 8 Fashion’s Night Out (this year with 58 participating venues and partners throughout the city).

See what’s driving this growth in the fashion industry locally, how local business owners and retailers are plugging in internationally and what drives them in this whirlwind business. Photographers, models, set stylists, hair, makeup, retailers, clothing designers and more coming together to drive the industry forward.

Rapid Growth takes you on this ride Wednesday, September 7 at Wealthy Theatre at 6 p.m., the night before Fashion’s Night Out, to talk with local experts about trends in the industry. Maybe even what to wear and not to wear as Fall moves in.

Our panel will feature:

Jim Murray – AK Rikk’s
Patrick Plank – Leigh’s
Kev Couture – Kev Couture Fashion Inc
Tiffany Skilling – The ModeLife
Marianne Bockheim – Intelligent Beauty LLC

Moderated by the fabulous Latesha Lipscomb of You’ve Got Face.

The event is free and open to the public. Concessions available for purchase and bar privileges available to Community Media Center members ($12/year).
