Welcome to the Cleveland Fashion Institute! The social and business networking organization of Cleveland's fashion community. We are a new community fashion and art collective that encourages self-expression through fashion, art, and design. We believe that fashion is an essential part of any thriving community. We believe that fashion lifts the spirit and raises the collective consciousness of the citizens of Cleveland.
Our members include fashion artists, fashion boutique owners, fashion designers, fashion educators, fashion retailers, fashion runway models, fashion stylists, fashion lovers, and artistic organizations. Members collaborate in an effort to facilitate mutual support, recognition, and the exchanging of ideas. We work to encourage a thriving fashion community within Cleveland. We facilitate artist development, studio visits, and community outings in an effort to enrich the lives of all citizens of Cleveland. The Cleveland Fashion Institute strives to unleash the artistic and business potential of every member.
We are always looking for members and volunteers. We have Fashion Industry Mixers the 2nd Friday of every month and events throughout the year. See the News and Events page for details.

About 2nd Fridays
The Cleveland Fashion Community gets together the 2nd Friday of every month. These are casual, unstructured get-togethers in which members mingle and chat with one another. It is here that they often make business and social connections with industry insiders. No particular agenda, just the opportunity to mix with members who share common interests. Join us!
