Envision Duke University as a place where every student's passion is nurtured, except for those passionate about fashion. This disparity is what the Duke Business of Fashion Summit (DBFS) seeks to rectify. We're on the brink of creating something special this spring at Duke, but our resources are stretched thin and need your help.

Through a dynamic two-day hybrid event (April 11 - April 13), DBFS aims to awaken Duke students to the vast possibilities of successful careers in creative sectors, while providing industry leaders direct access to the visionary minds of tomorrow. With a diverse array of panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, the DBFS experience is tailored to inspire, educate, and empower.

Within just four days of displaying flyers at three locations on West Campus, we gathered 100 emails from students eager for a fashion-centric community at Duke.

Currently, we are tasked with addressing significant expenses, most of which Duke has not been able to support with. We are students with a vision and we need your help.

Your support can catalyze the transformation of Duke into a hub for fashion enthusiasts, enriching the university as a place where all passions thrive. By backing the DBFS, you're not just funding an event; you're championing a movement towards a more inclusive, diverse, and creative academic environment.

This summit is the foundation for what we envision as a vibrant, year-round inaugural initiative, fostering a rich community of future fashion leaders right here at Duke.
