I came across this very important event from Women's Wear Daily. If you're interested in being in the fashion industry in any aspect or even if you are already apart of the industry and need a heads up this is a critical event for you to attend!!! Dress Fiercely, Take Notes, and be your own personal walking P.R package. Remember if you don't believe in you no one else will. Good luck angels!
