Help Ashley Rae Get to NYFW - A Designer's Dream Comes True

Hi, I’m Ashley Lamb—a fashion designer and founder of Ashley Rae, a brand committed to sustainability, inclusivity, and slowing down fashion in a world that moves too fast.

For over 20 years, I’ve been dreaming, sketching, and creating collections in hopes of making a meaningful impact on the fashion industry. And now, that dream is reaching a new chapter: I’ve been invited to attend and represent my work during New York Fashion Week—one of the biggest stages in fashion.

This isn’t just a trip—it’s a career-changing opportunity. NYFW is where independent designers connect with their people: press, collaborators, brands, and new supporters. It’s a space to be seen, and to take up space. I’ve worked hard to earn this chance—but I can’t do it alone.

What I’m Raising Funds For:

To show up fully prepared and make the most of this opportunity, I’m raising $4,500 to cover:

I want this to be a shared journey—so I’ve created a few thank-you gifts for anyone who contributes (scroll below for details). Even the smallest donation means the world and brings me one step closer to the runway!

Whether you’ve followed my work from the beginning, believe in supporting women chasing big dreams, or simply love rooting for independent artists—thank you for believing in me and being part of this next chapter.

With my deepest gratitude,

Ashley
