I know what you're thinking, "What Boston Fashion Industry?" You're not alone in that train of thought. Say the words Boston and New England and you think Soxs and Pats, not fashion.Boston actually does have a number of independent designers. Some have been in business for years. You don't really hear too much about them, the media's focus is more on sports. Sure, you'll get the occasional articles from the local newspapers and magazines but not on a consistent basis. That's where I come in. There really isn't a magazine, print or online, that is completely dedicated to the local fashion scene. You can't find articles about different designers from one source, you can't even find a good list of well known local designers. That's what I hope to accomplish with Boston Fashion Industry.com, create a great directory of local designers, write about the latest projects of established designers, and write about new designers fresh out of the local fashion schools that want to start a business in New England. I'm hoping that the more people read about and get to know the designers in the industry, the more they'll support the industry by making purchases. Shop local, as the saying goes.
The industry here is young with lots of room to grow. Media will play an important role in that growth and I hope to be on the forefront of that media. So please, visit BostonFashionIndustry.com, get to know the designers, schools, and modeling agencies that make up the local industry and pay us a visit, we look forward to doing business with you.
