W will bring {FASHION INCUBATOR} designers out of New York City and into markets that are important to growing their businesses. The partnership will travel {FASHION INCUBATOR} designers to W Hotels around the country for fashion showcases and special events, providing exposure to new retailers, media and consumers to drive sales. Additionally, {FASHION INCUBATOR} designers will benefit from W’s deep-reaching digital and brand marketing channels.
FIT reunion! Hanging out with Daniel Vosovic
And it gets better! Double surprise for me when I walk in and Daniel Vosovic is there and one of the very talented designers partaking in the {FASHION INCUBATOR} program.

My congratulations go out to all of the other designers/labels in the program as well: Ari Dein, Burkman Bros, Emanuala Duca, Isaora, NUMBER: Lab, Reece Hudson, Timo Weiland and Whit. Rock it!
