About this Event

Kick off New York Fashion Week early with an exclusive fashion networking event in , just off Fifth Avenue (50W 17TH street, 2nd floor, 10011).


Join us for an evening dedicated to fashion, innovation, and meaningful connections. This is more than a party — it’s where bold ideas are shared, new partnerships are formed, and next-season collaborations begin. Only two weeks before NYFW.

This meetup will be dedicated to how fast our industry is changing, with a special focus on AI and fashion technology. We’ll explore how new tools are reshaping creative processes, production, marketing, and collaboration — and what that means for designers, brands, and creatives today.

Bring your ideas. We want to hear them. This is a space for conversation, exchange, and forward-thinking dialogue about the future of fashion.

Come dressed with intention, bring your business cards, and meet NYC fashion insiders: designers, stylists, models, photographers, producers, PR professionals, creative directors — and fashion tech innovators.
