SUMMARY
B N G began with a simple question: how can fashion creatives connect and thrive in an industry that often feels isolating? Through research and conversations with designers, stylists, and small business owners, we uncovered a shared need for an accessible, collaborative space tailored to their unique challenges. This led us to create the concept of B N G, a fashion social house where creatives can work, network, and grow together. It matters because it’s more than a space—it’s a community designed to empower the next generation of fashion talent.
challenge
We identified a major gap for fashion creatives. A lack of accessible spaces for connection, collaboration, and growth. Through conversations with designers, stylists, and small business owners, we learned that traditional networking spaces feel exclusive or impersonal, leaving many struggling to find meaningful opportunities. Our research highlighted the need for a dedicated space where creatives can showcase their work, build relationships, and access resources tailored to their industry. B N G fills this gap by creating a community designed for them to thrive.
Outcome
The project took shape as B N G, a fashion social house designed to meet the specific needs of creatives. It’s a collaborative space where designers, stylists, and small business owners can connect meaningfully, access tailored resources, and showcase their work. B N G addresses the gap in the market by providing an affordable, inclusive environment focused on face-to-face collaboration—something missing in traditional networking spaces. It’s more than just a venue; it’s a community built to empower and elevate fashion creatives.
