We invite everyone to be a part of the DC Fashion Incubator!

There are two ways to get involved:

Become a Resident or External Designer

To become a resident or external designer, applicants must submit a completed application for review. The selection committee will review the application and decide if you are ready to be admitted into the program, and at which level.  

There are 2 levels that a designer can be accepted please see the costs, and benefits can be found here. 

Attend Some Of DCFI's Extensive Courses

If you aren't quite ready to become a resident or external designer, or in a business other than fashion design we still have a place for you!  

Our classes and services are avalible to the general public, and you can attand as many or as few as you'd like.

If you're a designer you can use these courses and individual consulting to work towards getting ready to enter into the Incubator. If you're in another kind of business, use these same services to better your business and make connections with others in the community.  

You can keep up to date on courses being offered and news about DCFI by subscribing to our mailing list, or by visiting our EventBright course registration page.
