28 Squared
28 Squared because fashion With color has evolved!
28 Squared.com has emerged as a cutting edge approach that uses technology to augment the 5c’s to create CHANGE and affect lives!
It was originally conceptualized as a singular project to bring together black fashion designers from Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and the US to showcase, sell, inspire and celebrate their African Heritage while taking on New Media and Technology. However,in response to demand from designers, artist and crafters in Dubai, Senegal, Nigeria, UK, New York France, Trinidad and Tobago, New jersey and California we are expanding the concept to that of a global approach to creative enterprise with a cultural perspective.
We support designers in New York and now will Starting October 2010 be able to extend that program to othr designers
At Fashioncamp Last September It became clear during our designers session that many had no idea what was expected “at the end of the runway”. Just before 28 squared February’s start date we again heard “designers were not ready” . we took the challenge and we are proud to have expanded and incorporate our existing project! Creating the first phase of the solution!
Later this year we begin development of 28 squared Phase 2- Expanding opportunities via the development of a global platform with a local focus! We’ll be using web and video technology to reach and include designers from across the globe!
28 Squared is an extended format and so we are looking for area coordinators on the ground in local areas who have or are willing to work with local designers!
