Columbus Fashion Alliance was proud to join CBUS Retail at theloomcolumbus for Fashion Reimagined: The Business of Resale, Recycling & Circularity.

We were grateful to sit in on a special conversation between Ryan Burgess of Goodwill Columbus and Nichole Konkolewski, founder and creator of NK Creations, moderated by Maria Seguin. Together they explored upcycling, fashion, and the many ways these worlds intersect, from sustainability to storytelling to what it really means to give clothing a second life.

Thank you to CBUS Retail for facilitating and bringing us together for an evening of community and conversation.

We’re proud to continue building a future where fashion has the resources, space, and support to thrive in Columbus, and it’s only possible with the support of community.

Thank you Ohio Arts Council we are more than grateful to receive a recent grant award. It allows us to continue advancing fashion as art, culture, education, and economic opportunity in Columbus creating more opportunities for designers, artists, makers, entrepreneurs, and creatives to access resources, develop their craft, build community, and grow.

As we continue building a stronger creative ecosystem in Columbus, support like this helps us bring people together, amplify creative voices, and demonstrate the role fashion can play in shaping the cultural and economic future of our city.

Join CBUS Retail at The Loom for a timely conversation exploring how resale, reuse, thoughtful product development and circular business models are changing the lifecycle of clothing and accessories.

Our panel of fashion, retail and sustainability leaders will offer perspectives from across the industry, from collecting and reselling clothing at scale to designing and creating products with quality, longevity and purpose in mind. Together, they’ll discuss how businesses and entrepreneurs can reduce waste, extend the life of products and respond to consumers who increasingly care about where their clothing comes from and where it goes next.

We’ll explore the opportunities and challenges behind circular fashion, including what makes these models financially viable, how design and production decisions affect sustainability, and what it will take to create meaningful change across the industry.

Whether you work in retail, fashion, sustainability, product development or entrepreneurship, you’ll leave with a better understanding of how the industry is evolving and where new opportunities may be emerging.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot today!
