Cincinnati Threads and Dayton Threads Independent Boutiques plays an integral role in the success of participant in the Dayton Fashion Week Designer Incubator and the Cincinnati Fashion Incubator. Aside from allowing designers to test their market, designers also need hands-on experience working at boutiques.
Our Boutique Support Program provides fashion internship style support from designers in our incubators for independently run boutiques in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas. Because this is an educational opportunity, our designers will volunteer their time for experience and/or commission.
Need a button fixed, a new zipper or a hem sewn? Don't throw the garment away because we've got you covered there as well for a small fee which can be negotiated via the Dayton Garment & Textile Districts alterations and tailoring services.
The Cincinnati and Dayton Threads Boutique Support Program also offers opportunities to cross promote and market your boutique with the goal of booking appointments with our designers that fit your boutique’s profile to sell their designs. All designer profiles will be available by PDF and on-line in May 2024.
As an independent boutique owner participating in this program also provides you with an exclusive opportunity to attend Dayton Fashion Week: The Collections and Fashion Week of Cincinnati free of charge. We will confirm your reserved seats after your review of our Fashion Week Line-Up prior to the shows.
Our Boutique Support System is a network of local and national boutiques supporting aspiring and emerging fashion designers by getting their brands in different markets and providing hands on experiences in learning by serving as interns for your boutique.
Our Boutique Support System includes exclusive marketing benefit, inside access to partnership opportunities, access to the best up and coming designers, and reserved seating for A Weekend of (DE-FI)ance, Dayton Fashion Week: The Collections, and Fashion Week of Cincinnati.
