The Indigenous Fashion Collective (TIFC) is committed to developing programs and opportunities for TIFC members to learn, share information, and receive training that will help develop their brand and build their business acumen.
Designer: Lesley Hampton
TIFC will offer “Master Classes” where industry experts will share tips, information, and resources to important trade information, data, and knowledge that is necessary for fashion designers and artists to succeed in the business. TIFC Master Classes will include presentations from recognized professionals in the fashion industry, philanthropy, major fashion houses, and business.
In partnership with the Southwest American Indian Arts Association, and other partners and platforms, TIFC will facilitate symposiums and panel presentations that will feature TIFC Advisory Committee Members and TIFC partners. These educational events will provide resource sharing and promote dialogues that focus on trends, topics, and new developments in the fashion community.
Additionally, TIFC will develop educational training programs that focus on building the knowledge, expertise, and skills of our members so that they can build their brands and meet their business goals. These educational programs will focus on topics such as finance, business development, branding, marketing, and other fashion business subject areas. These training programs will also be designed to assist not just designers, but also models, and makeup and beauty professionals.
By offering various opportunities designed to assist TIFC members on their journey to brand and business success, TIFC members will benefit from these offerings whether they are experienced businesses or emerging in the fashion industry.
