ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Seven local fashion professionals will be debuting their designs at the 5th annual Fashion Showcase on Saturday, August 7 from 5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

During the Fashion Showcase, attendees can learn about seven emerging fashion entrepreneurs who will discuss their future business plans, services, and products. The seven are part of the Edison Institute, a six month career development program for fashion professionals and entrepreneurs.

The Edison Institute’s program helps to grow the confidence of those with an eye for fashion, as well as increase their social media presence and secure a larger client base while collaborating on projects through a collective creative community to help clarify their goals and ideas.

The Fashion Showcase helps emerging professionals by welcoming visitors to their vendor tables to learn about and support their projects and services during the first half of the event. The second half of the event will consist of presentations to reveal the designers’ immediate goals for the future and ask the audience for creative assistance by supporting their projects.
