Design - Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Just a couple of generations ago, St. Louis was second only to New York as a center of fashion in the United States. Focused on Washington Avenue, the industry here both designed and made the shoes, boots, lingerie, and dresses — especially young women's dresses — that helped clothe the nation.We are bringing that action back.Right where it used to be: on Washington Avenue, downtown.By doing so, we are fostering the creation of new companies. Bringing more jobs and talent to downtown. Recapturing a piece of our history. Educating and mentoring fashion and design students across the region. And helping create positive buzz about St. Louis.
