MAKING HISTORY WITH THE MADE INSTITUTE

We are super excited to work with Made Institute for their 8-week streetwear course, engaging three of Philly's top creatives to bring game to the next wave of designers! The Q&A sessions are a chance to connect, learn, and get inspired by industry leaders who have built brands from the ground up. All of these will be brought to the final showcase, where one exceptional designer will get to have their collection brought to life and go on sale in the stores of Snipes throughout Philly. The ultimate prize? The chance to turn a dream into business reality. 🔥
