On the evening of April 28, 2017, the DC Fashion Foundation and DC Fashion Incubator welcomed 350 guests to our New/NEXT Fashion Showcase. Hosted at the hip and colorful Blind Whino Southwest Arts Club, this night of fashion and philanthropy featured a runway show with six designer collections, pop-up boutique shops, and premium giveaways from generous sponsors. The Showcase raised over $10,000 to support local emerging leaders in the fashion industries.
