CRE8 Space Fashion Showcase, Pop Up Shop, & Networking Event

When we Invest in the Youth, We Create Space for the Future.

Join us for the CRE8 Space Graduation Fashion Showcase, an inspiring afternoon spotlighting the creativity, growth, and resilience of Chicago’s youth.

This showcase is not a traditional fashion showcase—it’s a community-powered celebration of what our students have accomplished in just 8 short weeks.

Imagine Project Runway, but featuring youth from the South and West Sides of Chicago.

Each garment and product displayed was designed and produced by young adults (ages 18–24) in our CRE8 Space vocational sewing program, which trains participants in industrial sewing, entrepreneurship, AI, and financial literacy.

🧵 WHAT TO EXPECT:

• A live fashion showcase of youth-designed garments and creations
• Networking with local creatives, entrepreneurs, content creators, investors, and community leaders
• A silent auction of exclusive pieces, tailored experiences, and sewing education opportunities
• A youth-led pop-up shop featuring products from our graduates and sponsoring organizations
• Opportunities to learn more about CRE8 Space and how to partner, support, or enroll in future cohorts

💡 WHY IT MATTERS

Our mission is simple: invest in the youth and create space for their creativity to thrive. In a city where too many young adults are affected by violence, limited economic access, and underinvestment, we’re proving what’s possible when you equip them with purpose, skills, and a platform.

CRE8 Space is building a more inclusive, sustainable fashion ecosystem—rooted right here in Chicago. Your attendance is more than support—it’s a step toward community transformation.

🎯 WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Anyone who is passionate about fashion, supporting Chicago youth, and small businesses should plan to be in attendance!
• Family and friends of participating CRE8 Space students and Alumni
• Creative entrepreneurs, designers, and content creators
• Youth advocates, educators, and parents
• Local brands, nonprofit leaders, and community organizations
• Investors and partners passionate about workforce development and equity in fashion entrepreneurship

For the first time ever, we are introducing 'PAY WHAT YOU WANT' General Admission Ticket, which allows you to select whatever price you choose for a ticket. All ticket sales will be re-invested into the CRE8 Space Youth Fashion & Entrepreneurship Textile Training Program.

We are looking forward to Celebrate our Youth with You!
