Join Us for TBFW Shop Talk: Wellness Edition!
What is TBFW Shop Talk?
The fashion industry is beloved for its creativity and trend-setting designs, but not everyone understands the various ways to get involved and make a difference. Tampa Bay Fashion Week: Shop Talk aims to bridge that gap with a series of workshops designed to demystify the industry. This event focuses on the intersection of fashion, mental health, and activism, providing attendees with a meaningful look at how these important issues are being addressed within the fashion world.
Wellness Edition is all about raising awareness, connecting with like-minded individuals, and empowering attendees to explore the broader impacts of fashion on both mental and social well-being.
What Can You Expect?
This event will cover a range of topics designed to inspire and inform:
-
Mental Health in Fashion – Presented by the incredible Karen D. Fultz-Robinson, a designer at Observame, this workshop will explore the often-overlooked side of fashion: mental health. Karen will guide us through her journey and offer insight on how fashion can be used as a tool for self-expression, healing, and empowerment.
-
Fashion as a Tool for Activism – Led by Aanya Patel, founder of Global Girls Initiative, this workshop will dive into the ways fashion can be a platform for social change. Aanya will discuss how we can use fashion to support causes that matter, from sustainability to empowering marginalized communities.
Why This Event Is So Important
Fashion is more than just clothing—it is a reflection of culture, identity, and social issues. At District 34 Boutique, we believe that fashion has the power to impact the world in profound ways. By focusing on mental health and activism, this edition of Shop Talk highlights how the industry can be a force for good. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how fashion professionals are tackling critical issues and how we can all contribute to a more inclusive and conscious fashion landscape.
