Dissonance NYFW Fashion Show,

About the event

Bronx-based design brand, ByMezzy LLC, and Queens artist, Sam Felix, know all too well how much New York Fashion Week ignites the city. However, both can attest to how much emphasis is put on virality, rather than authentic creative expression. Follower counts and headlines override the work of many creatives. The two came together to put on an event by creatives, for creatives. By blending various creative disciplines, they aim to provide a space that elevates our local art community while making it accessible to do so. 

DISSONANCE is an exhibition of the best of New York’s creative community. On September 12, attendees will enjoy the work of 15 visual artists, experience a runway fashion show featuring 6 designers, and musical performances. Ultimately, this event is designed to spark new connections across the New York art scene.

Why should you sponsor?

This is a great opportunity for brands to cultivate their relationships with New York City creatives and patrons of art, fashion, and music. The two founders already have deep ties in the NYC art community and are not new to event curation. Past events have drawn strong turnouts and participation, which any brand partnering with Dissonance Fashion Show can benefit from.
