“ As always, the meeting was informative. Abigal's advice on networking was spot on. The fashion show was very energetic. ” -
Rob of Tre' Lynn Pro (+3 guests)“ I regret that I had to miss this months event, I had an unexpected family emergency ” -
Khalil Ra'oof (+2 guests)“ I appreciate the opportunity and look forward to next months event. ” -
paulo (+1 guest)“ Getting to be too big for space... Would be good to put you card in a bowl and then find a person whose card you picked... as an icebreaker. ” -
“ I made several good contacts. Something that'd help even more is to go into more detail asking what part of the industry people are involved. For example, you asked if there were designers present, but you didn't ask for sewers, boutique owners, illustrators, etc. This could help attendees find go-to people even easier. ” -
Alice Chang (+1 guest)“ Today was my first time to attend this group. I love it!! I really had a good time and met lots of cool people. I have to say, Abigail, I love your attitude. So many people in the fashion industry feel a need to have a special attitude. I really dislike it. Fashion is about personal taste, being comfortable with yourself and being confident. I believe if a organizer has a great attitude, the group will be just amazing. So congratulations to Abi and all of the amazing designers tonight!! Alice ” -
“ I didn't make it. I suggest to arrange the meeting on weekends, either Fri. or Sat. night. Most of the members are working during the week days, plus bad traffic during the week days. ” -
