I had this idea to start an association where emerging designers could learn more about the business of fashion designing.  There are so many "rules" to creating a memorable collection and I wanted develop a place where young designers could come together and share these interests through workshops, classes, mixers, shows and meetings.

 

So I created The Young Fashion Designer's Association.  The Young Fashion Designers Association (YFDA) is a not-for-profit association whose membership will consists of emerging “young” fashion designers who are striving to become relevant in the fashion world. The word "Young" meaning developing their craft and emerging into the fashion world. There is an age limit where as an Emerging Member must be 21 years old or older, our Junior Members must be 18 to 21 years old Designers will specialize in all facets of fashion design including womenswear, menswear, jewelry, and accessory design. Designer should be emerging designers who have not been signed to any major distribution or publicity deals. 

 

Though we would be based out of Atlanta, there would be many opportunities to expand and grow the association. Members can come from anywhere with the technology available today.

 

If you are interested, please visit www.yfdassocation.us to learn more about the association and to join.  We are very much in the growing stages and need people who are committed to growing as designers!
