Positively Creative

Today Dorothy sits down with Abby Phillips of Memphis Fashion Design Network.  Abby fills us in on how she created Memphis Fashion Week, which hosts well known fashion designers as well as emerging designers.   Abby has grown this nonprofit into a flourishing thriving success.  Memphis Fashion Design Network now encompasses a collaborative design studio, The Lab, and education certification courses at Memphis College of Art. "We knew right away that we had to keep doing it.  I don't feel like I built it, I feel like we kept following what people were wanting.  It was the opposite of 'if you build it they will come.'  It was like, they're coming, we better get this done!" - Abby Phillips  "I think that's a big thing as well...committing yourself to being 100% present for what you're working on, whether that a mom, or work, or whatever it may be." - Abby Phillips Follow Memphis Fashion Design Network here: http://www.memphisfashiondesignnetwork.com/ http://www.memphisfashionweek.org/ Follow Positively Creative
