Fashion and Finance NYC

Behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry kicks off June 24-26

We're heading back to New York this summer for our third Fashion and Finance retreat. This three-day program uses fashion as a vehicle to introduce the world of business to young women. The retreat includes exclusive meetings with designers, buyers, editors, and retailers. Mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, grandmothers and granddaughters will leave with an understanding of the connections between Women's Wear Daily and the Wall Street Journal.

Every day we’re announcing more details about Camp Start-Up, our 11-day camp that gives teens grounding in the basics of entrepreneurship, budgeting, investing, and saving. We’ll be going back to the Living Christmas Tree Company, seeing how baseball bats for the pros are made, and meeting people who train the nonprofits that help poor farmers around the world.
