Created by the Fashion Institute of Technology in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation, the program will equip select NYC fashion designers with the skills needed to successfully run a fashion label, including marketing, operations, and financial management. With the help of industry experts, each participant will write and/or refine a business plan, and participants who successfully complete the program will have the opportunity to present their plans to and receive feedback from a panel of influential fashion leaders.
