Fashion Circuit Designers
Each season, The Fashion Circuit brings together a curated selection of designers who are shaping the fashion landscape in the Midwest. Our shows are more than just runways—they are a celebration of creativity, community, and the future of fashion.
A Theme as Unique as the Location
Every Fashion Circuit show is inspired by its surroundings. Whether it’s the energy of a bustling cityscape, the historic charm of a local landmark, or the natural beauty of the Midwest, each location influences the creative direction of our designers. These themes challenge our designers to push their artistic boundaries and craft collections that speak to both the venue and the vision of the show.
Designers Shaping the Midwest’s Fashion Scene
We seek out designers who are not just making clothes but making an impact. Our selected designers are at the forefront of the Midwest’s fashion movement, setting new standards and defining what it means to be a creative in the region. These trailblazers are building the foundation for the Midwest’s growing fashion industry, ensuring it thrives and gains recognition on a larger scale.
Mentorship & Creativity
At The Fashion Circuit, creativity is not just showcased—it’s cultivated. Each designer collaborates with our Fashion Circuit Fellows, mentoring the next generation of fashion creatives in areas such as design, styling, and production. This hands-on mentorship allows fellows to learn directly from industry leaders, gaining invaluable insights while assisting in bringing each designer’s vision to life.
SewCial Impact: Fashion for a Cause
Beyond the runway, our designers also play an essential role in community initiatives through The Fashion Circuit’s SewCial Impact Project. This initiative leverages the power of fashion to give back, whether through sustainable design efforts, workshops for aspiring creatives, or projects that support local communities. By participating in SewCial Impact, designers help bridge the gap between fashion and philanthropy, using their talents to inspire and uplift others.
Past & Present Designers
Our roster of designers includes emerging talent and established visionaries, all dedicated to exploring their creativity while contributing to the Midwest’s fashion identity. From avant-garde creators to contemporary trendsetters, each brings a unique perspective to the runway.
