Inside Fashion Design
Share
Global platform for the Conscious fashion industry, providing education, inspiration, & connections
Inside Fashion Design shares behind the scenes look into the Apparel Industry. Created to support, inspire, educate, inform, connect & engage community.
Think a career in fashion is just about design? Think again.
I’m heading into NYFW with four distinct roles: Educator, Host, Producer, and Industry Observer. By shifting these lenses, I’m exploring the judgment, communication, and ex*****on that actually build sustainable careers.
Follow along as I break down the business behind the beauty.
Most Fashion Week coverage focuses on the final outfit, but the real education for designers happens underneath the surface.
This season, we are going beyond the runway spectacle to analyze the design intent, fabric choices, and communication strategies behind the collections.
Our goal is to help you translate these industry moments into actionable lessons for your own design practice.
Follow along as we break down New York Fashion Week and let us know what you want us to analyze next.
Stop trying to absorb every single detail at Fashion Week and start watching with intention.
When you attempt to see everything, you often end up remembering very little, which is why we recommend choosing one 'lens'—such as casting, storytelling, or production—to guide your observation.
Before you head to the runway, write down three specific questions related to your chosen lens to help you analyze the collection more deeply.
This simple shift allows you to move past superficial observation and truly understand the intentionality behind the design process.
New York Fashion Week is almost here, and Inside Fashion Design wants you on our team for our September 14th show in NYC!
Whether you’re looking to showcase your artistry on the runway, capture the action behind the camera, or gain priceless backstage production experience, this is your opportunity to collaborate with us live at NYFW.
We are actively recruiting:
Runway Models
Hair & Makeup Artists
Media & Content Creators
Backstage & Event Volunteers
Spots are filling up quickly as we finalize our production crew.
