Invitation-Only Fashion – (DE-FI), Dayton & Cincinnati
Invitation Requests: Exclusive Fashion Events in Dayton & Cincinnati - Intentional and Impactful
At (DE-FI) Global INC, our invitation-only fashion experiences are curated for those ready to make an impact in Dayton, Cincinnati, and across the Midwest. The (DE-FI) Fashion Experiences are carefully designed gatherings where innovation, community, and fashion collide. Request your invitation and step into a space with purpose.
At (DE-FI) Global INC, there’s always something extraordinary in motion...and always a way for you to be part of it.
We are intentional about who we invite into the room, not out of exclusion, but out of commitment. Our incubator may serve aspiring fashion-based talent directly, but our impact extends far beyond. We’re growing the entire industry, from strategic partners and outside stakeholders to emerging talent and the support systems that surround them.
You don’t need years of experience in fashion to be part of this mission. What matters is your willingness: to grow, to connect beyond your usual circles, and to support others as they do the same. This is a space for the committed and the collaborative.
While our focus is on those building meaningful careers in fashion, we welcome the energy of those ready to contribute intentionally. For select events, a limited number of first-come, first-served tickets may be available to ensure access without compromising our mission.
And here’s the perk: once you've been invited to a (DE-FI) experience and you attend, you won’t need to request future invitations. You’re officially part of our network, and that means you're on the list. That’s the benefit of being a part of our community and support system. However, you must RSVP in the exact format requested and understand that space is limited. Our events often reach capacity weeks in advance, so early RSVPs are essential.
If you RSVP and fail to attend without notifying us, you’ll be required to go through the invitation request process again, and a re-entry fee will apply if you’re invited back. Many of our events are free, and last-minute no-shows take spots away from other deserving industry professionals hurting our mission and the opportunities we provide.
Our goal is clear: to create spaces where raw talent thrives uninterrupted by spectacle, driven by authenticity.
Discover the movement. Join the community. Re(DE-FI)ne the standard.
