Cultivating these emerging talents and enterprises into highly skilled fashion professionals will in turn attract companies that will draw even more creative design students and professionals to Miami, thus creating a self-sustaining cycle. Through education, followed by networking and mentoring, leading to the establishment of fashion companies that have open access to industry leaders, resources, and capital, Miami’s position as a fashion industry hub will be further cemented.
