A meeting of minds alike



Last night I attended the monthly gathering of Fashion Arizona meetup group. This is a group comprised of  anyone associated or interested in fashion within Arizona. I was fortunate enough to meet plenty of people that I could consider to be associates in my business of fashion. These people were designers, makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers, bloggers, and people who LOVE fashion.

The meeting, run by Brian Hill (Femme Athletic clothing, Phoenix Fashion Week organizer), went fabulously well and had a very good turnout. The lovely and talented Joanna de'Shay, owner and designer for Black Russian Label, was the guest speaker. She has brought a business from the ground up to an amazing clothing line.

If you want to be in an industry, you need to be IN that industry. By attending meetings such as these, that are focused solely on what you want to do in your life, you will meet the people you need to know and you will learn the things you need to know in order to accomplish your life goals.

I feel honored to meet the tens of people I spoke with at the meeting and blessed to be in a field in which the people love what they do. If you haven't joined associations, groups, blogs, and all that stuff, do so. It is your time to show who you are to the world.


Until we meet again,


B
