We are excited to welcome our NYC Chapter Members back into the swirl of summer — with the return of our annual Summer Soirée! And this year, sustainability is our theme, as we co-host this soirée with The NYC Fair Trade Coalition — bringing together fashion, food, and fair trade — as well as stakeholders throughout the supply chain.
Join us on July 21 at The Hugh (at 53rd Street & Lexington Avenue), Midtown East's newest food hall featuring 15 stylish restaurants and bars. The party starts at 6 p.m. with NYC Fair Trade Coalition members showcasing their products from around the world. Come reconnect with old friends and make new connections as we renew our commitment to moving the sustainable fashion industry forward.
And if you want to make it a day out — visit the final day of Texworld, taking place July 19-21 at the Jacob Javits Center, bringing together textile and sourcing experts from around the world. Be sure to visit the NYC FTC booth and member showcase for a preview of what’s to come at our soirée later on at The Hugh.
And so we warmly invite our current UNA-NYC members to the return of our Summer Soirée — and please bring your non-member friends along! We also invite designers, suppliers, retailers, certifiers, and fair trade advocates to join us in bringing back this NYC summer favorite — with a sustainable twist!
