Organized by

Custom Collaborative

We are a New York City-based entrepreneurship and workforce development program that trains and supports women from low-income and immigrant communities to launch fashion careers and businesses. By learning the standard techniques and ethical business practices of the fashion industry, our participants professionalize their sewing and design skills, overcome barriers to employment, and ultimately, change the economics of the industry.

OUR MISSION

We strive to change the economics of the fashion industry by helping under invested women overcome professional barriers and achieve financial stability through increased employment opportunities.
