Fashion Mingle was excited to have booths at 2 trade shows this July. It was wonderful to be back in person, meeting our members, networking, and participating in events. We are grateful to Texworld and The Fabrics Show for inviting us this season to promote Fashion Mingle and our global platform for fashion industry professionals. As attendees and vendors came by our booths, we learned about their challenges and plans for growth, which allowed us to recommend Fashion Mingle members they should connect with and also give them advice from our years of experience in the industry.

Fashion Mingle Hosts Texworld’s Explore The Floor Tour

Fashion Mingle invited 4 members to be Designer Mentors and lead fashion apparel designers on a personalized tour of the sourcing floor. These fashion industry experts helped designers find the textiles they were looking for, answering all their questions about sourcing, production, and building a fashion business.
