So what took place at Inside Fashion Design's New Year Kickoff Celebration???
Building a strong, supportive fashion community starts with connection, collaboration, and a shared passion for creativity. At Inside Fashion Design, we believe in bringing people together through networking events, workshops, or simply creating spaces where designers, makers, and fashion enthusiasts can inspire one another and you can join us too!
In early January, we rang in 2025 with an unforgettable evening of creativity, connection, and community at our New Year Kickoff Celebration! The event, hosted at the vibrant Hey Love, brought together a packed house of designers, creatives, and fashion enthusiasts from across the local scene.
The energy in the room was electric as we mingled, chatted, and shared stories about our work, passions, and creative journeys. The live interviews with local creatives were a highlight of the night, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their inspiring work and sparking meaningful conversations about the creative process.
We made new friends, reconnected with old ones, and strengthened the bonds within our growing fashion community. The overwhelming question from everyone by the end of the night was: "When's the next event?" We'd love to hear about your favorite moments and connections from the evening. Share your experiences on our social media platforms using the hashtag #ifdconnnect
The celebration wasn't just about connecting—it was also about having a great time! We enjoyed delicious food, amazing raffle prizes, and even a red carpet where guests showcased their outfits and designs. The joy and laughter filled the room, creating a vibrant atmosphere that truly celebrated our community's talent and thoughtfulness.
