ABOUT OUR
COLLECTIVE
Support the Collective | Invest in the Future of Dallas Fashion
Dallas, a retail powerhouse, needs to become a creative capital too! Let’s bridge the gap between retail and creation. Support Studio Time Dallas’s Fashion Studio Collective and empower the next generation of Dallas-based designers by using innovative technology and teaching professional sewing classes and sustainable fashion design & manufacturing to underserved youth to reduce landfill waste and create an educated community. You’re not just funding a studio; you’re incubating the next generation of Dallas-based fashion brands.
Our mission-driven programs make us a force for positive change. We are more than a fashion studio; we are a community arts center with a fashion focus, creating business of fashion development programs related to sustainability. Our initial programs are being developed to take our next generation of designers from inspiration to income while giving top applicants an opportunity work and grow in residency at the studio. A second initiative will provide free coworking sessions for student designers twice per week. Help us grow our community and pour into our next generation of Dallas fashion designers.

THE CHALLENGE: A Gap in our Ecosystem
Dallas boasts a world-class fashion retail scene, but for the independent designers, pattern makers, and artisans behind the brands, there's a critical missing piece: access.
Aspiring talent is often priced out of professional-grade equipment and collaborative space. Without industrial sewing machines, cutting tables, pattern drafting software, and a supportive community, brilliant ideas never make it to the runway. This isn't just a loss for designers; it's a loss for our entire city's cultural and economic fabric.

OUR SOLUTION: The Fashion Studio Collective
The Fashion Studio Collective is more than a shared studio--it's the launchpad for Dallas Fashion.
We provide a production-ready, fully equipped space where emerging designers get the tools, technology, and community they need to turn their vision into a viable brand. We are bridging the gap between raw talent and commercial success, ensuring that the next great Dallas fashion label is built right here.
