This is one of the incredible events of the Brown Fashion Week ’23 Distinguished Speaker Series. Our Speaker Series is an annual event lineup focusing on providing a new perspective on the fashion industry. We aim to inspire attendees to explore the multifaceted world of fashion and its exciting and diverse possibilities. This year’s theme is Fashion Beyond the Screen, paying homage to the individuals propelling fashion forward. We will strip fashion down bit by bit, from the source of the fabrics you are wearing and the creatives revolutionizing their use, to the ones turning fashion into a glossy page in Vogue or a textual form of art. Join us to challenge your vision of what fashion is and where it could take you - you won’t be disappointed!
