Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards
Fashionpreneur Summit
The Fashionpreneur Summit is an annual interactive business workshop seminar that empowers young fashion business starters with knowledge, skills and connections to help them advance their brands. This summit focuses on the role of fashion and its related industries in shaping the future of young people and the economy.
Held under the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards, the workshop brings together industry experts in an interactive setting to discuss and equip participants with practical skills on how to monetize their projects and business ideas, seek funding, market their brands, manage finances and more, by a panel of business and creative professionals.
Since the fashion industry is always changing, each year features a different set of panelists depending on the global issues affecting the market.
