Exploring Fashion - SF Fashion Incubator

 

 Tuesday our young Fashion Journalists traveled to San Francisco to visit the SF Fashion Incubator,  located at Macy's Union Square.  The ladies had a unique opportunity to meet and interview the 6 designers in residence - Justin Jamison, Bethany Meuleners, Tamara Jaric, Sabah Mansoor Husain, Tony Sananikone and Paloma Von Broadley.  

Each designer in the Incubator has an individual perspective and take on fashion.  They all started with a fashion business and have entered the Incubator to learn more about the business of fashion.

Looking at the timeline for the 9 months in residence.....
