We all know that New York City is one of the fashion capitals of the world. It’s the birth place to so many brands, ideas, concepts, through some of the most creative and talented minds on Earth!

In this world that is constantly changing at such a rapid pace, it can be hard to follow everything. Plus, it’s equally difficult to be in tune with the latest news in our own industries, right?

That said, we are extremely honored to be a Media Sponsor at the upcoming event: “FASHINNOVATION”. The event will bring innovations in the fashion industry via technology and will certainly expand and incite your mind with fresh ideas.

Fashinnovation: “Fashion Is To Love”, is debuting its 3rd Edition just days before starting the New York Fashion Week. The event will be hosted inside the renowned Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC on September 4th, 2019.

The full-day conference will serve as a place where innovations, via technology, shapes the fashion industry and where current trends are showcased.

Moreover, there will be 70+ speakers, 20+ panel discussions and 20+ brands and startups “trade” activations with the objective of inspiring and sharing knowledge. All this, with countless BIG names of the industry!

Aside from the talks, guests will enjoy a fashion installation by Neon Cowboys, where he’s debuting an entire collection for the 1st time ever!

In addition, you can expect an activation floor with tech and fashion brands from all around the world and interesting red carpet interviews.

Finally, to celebrate the day in style, an after party will be hosted in partnership with The Canvas by Querencia Studio, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!

“Based on where all of the trends in the fashion industry are nowadays – transparency, storytelling, sustainability, collaboration, inclusivity, etc. – love is the emotion that it all stems from” says Jordana Guimarães.

“We are excited to keep growing this community of innovators, who are shaping the fashion industry via technologies, such as Digifair (on demand global fabric sourcing and logistics company) and others”, continues Marcelo Guimarães.

The goal is to reach that turning point in their lives, where everything changed and a new universe appeared and consciousness was expanded.

In more details:

“Stand Up For Passion is a platform to share and spread passionate and inspirational stories. We believe that everyone has a story and everyone’s story can inspire the lives of others.

Therefore, at our next event in NYC, we will be discussing “Ambition and the Art of Happiness” with a panel of some of our top past speakers – specifically those involved in coaching and transforming others and organizations.

Ambition is the catalyst for pursuing your passions but it often causes stress and unhappiness when things don’t go as planned.

How do we reconcile pursuing our ambitions yet be happy at the same time? We will be exploring these topics as well as hearing from 3 special storytellers.

Therefore, a couple of our speakers are traveling from afar to join us – Sedona, Arizona and Casablanca, Morocco!A brain scientist, reality TV producer, well-being expert from the United Nations along with 4 coaches is a recipe for an inspirational evening!”
