Edessa School of Fashion has been chosen as the educational partner to New York Fashion Week BLK. We have been invited to show our student collections in New York City on September 9, 2022. The faculty have chosen three students to represent Edessa and Milwaukee at NYFW BLK. Sabrina Lombardo, Andre Purdy and Stephanie Schultz have graciously accepted and are ready to share their visions with the world.

We are asking for financial support for airfare and hotel fees for a group of five from the institution. We leave on September 8th, show on September 9th and return on the 10th. The total cost for this fashion excursion is $5000.00.

Please help us to put Milwaukee on the fashion map for these student designers and those to come. We will show every year if all goes well! Help us to make this dream come true! All donations are tax deductible.
