Fashion360 Activator is essentially a program designed to assist all creators interested in starting a fashion business. It is a great way to gain condensed industry information in order to understand the wholistic requirements from reputable experts. It also provides each participant with invaluable connections to industry providers as well as the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals to bounce ideas, share experiences and open networks.

The program will run every Thursday starting with an induction session on the 2nd of February 2023, and conclude on the 31st of March with an in-person presentation.
