The month of September was an exciting one for Fashion Mingle! In addition to our NYFW Networking Party, we added 2 more networking-based events to the agenda, resulting in our first ever NYFW Networking Week. And we’re happy to report that it went better than we could have possibly imagined.
To our attendees, sponsors, mentors and influencers, we can’t thank you enough for helping us bring this idea to life. The purpose of NYFW Networking Week is to encourage connection and collaboration within the fashion community, and your support is the perfect example of what can be achieved when that happens.
The Events
Influencers Unscripted
Date: September 5th, 2018

We kicked off the week with an insightful panel discussion covering the nuts and bolts of influencer marketing. One of our panel experts, Christine Schott, founder of The Beauty Influencers, wrote an amazing recap on the topics we covered which you can access here.
We ended the night the way we do best with mingling, cocktails, red carpet pics, and delicious desserts provided by Ocka TrEATs.

NYFW Networking Party
Date: September 9th, 2018
Location: ROW NYC Hotel
From red carpet interviews with DoraSpectacular to our newest event activity, Speed Networking (like speed dating but networking), this September’s NYFW Networking Party was another raging success. We had such a great time chatting with our local NYC fashion pros as well as those from California, Australia, and beyond. VIP attendees enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by District M and went home with a variety of sponsor goodies in their Fashion Pro on the Go Swag Bags.
