About Design Collective NY, Inc.

At Design Collective NY, Inc., we elevate independent and emerging fashion brands—both international labels seeking a presence in the U.S. market and U.S.-based brands aiming for greater exposure at home and abroad. Through strategic representation, curated events, and targeted media campaigns, we connect your collections with the right buyers, press, and opportunities, helping your brand build presence, not just visibility.

Our Story

Founded with a passion for fashion and a drive to champion independent designers, Design Collective NY began creating events as a way to showcase talent and spark meaningful connections. Since our first event in 2002, we have grown into a full-service brand partner, blending curated fashion experiences, PR and media strategy, and wholesale sales support to help brands thrive in competitive markets.

Our approach centers on connecting brands with the right audience—from boutique buyers and top-tier retailers to press, influencers, and fashion enthusiasts. Each event and campaign is thoughtfully designed to amplify your brand’s story, create buzz, and foster lasting relationships. We focus on independent fashion brand representation both for U.S. based brands and international fashion brands wanting to access the U.S. market.
