What We Do

The Fashion Arts Collective(FAC) is a non-profit committed to nurturing aspiring area students and designer talent and supporting the Midwest fashion ecosystem. The fashion industry gender ratio is 70% and 25% male. In this group about 45% identify as LGBTQ+. Emphasizing the necessity for the textile trades is paramount to our community. We at FAC are dedicated to providing this underserved community their chance at pursuing a fashion and textile arts career through overcoming barriers such as poverty, transportation, economic barriers and more. The Fashion Industry is a $3 trillion dollar market and represents 2% of the Global GDP. At FAC, we recognize the need for direct involvement with area students and the community who desire to pursue this valuable and essential trade. The Fashion Arts Collective develops the whole student and designer in the fashion ecosystem through four project pillars: Creative Inspiration, Skill Development, Resource Development and Business Incubation. Designers and the public can learn all facets of the fashion industry including technical classes such as apparel sewing and pattern making to business formation, marketing and technology workshops. FAC's fully equipped workroom, offers a professional space for designers and students to explore and create.
