Flyover Fashion

Hilary Brown’s 2013 Swimsuit Collection
Shown in Kansas City Fashion Week, September 2012

Everyone knows the capitals of fashion in the U.S. are New York City and Los Angles.  Fashion moguls pass KC all the time and I am going to give them a reason to stop!  I am creating my Flyover Fashion Collection to show the world what a great place Kansas City is becoming for fashion!

Past Work

Kansas City has some great fashion events including the West 18th Street Fashion Show where I recently showed my 2012 Swimsuit Collection made mostly out of Knoll Textiles...

Current Project  

I was recently selected to be in Kansas City Fashion Week where I will be showing my Summer 2013 Swimwear Collection.  I am putting most of my time and money into my new collection but I am seeking your help to give the collection a boost.  Your pledges will help in raising enough money to cover better materials and accessories.  I have 12 looks in the collection each needing fabric, thread, hooks and zippers.

Where will your pledges go?

$ 1,200
- $ 100 in fees
- $ 100 in overhead to cover rewards

= $ 1,000 after fees and expenses

- $ 500 Fabric
- $ 300 Accessories (shoes, jewelry, hair)
- $ 200 Materials (thread, buttons, zippers, ties, etc.)

And if I raise my goal of $1,200, then I will put all additional pledges towards getting a rental space for the summer to move my studio out of my bedroom and helping me buy commercial sewing equipment.

     

Thank You!!!

Thank you so much for your support, and please help me in bringing my Flyover Fashion Collection to life, here in Kansas City!
