For Exclusive Access to New Designers, Head to TrendSeeder

Avani Patel was in law school when she started her own fashion line with her sister.  She was working in Chicago, where she’s from, and got to know the ins and outs of being a young designer within the city’s smaller fashion community.  What did she learn?  “Creatives don’t necessarily care for the business side, but running a fashion line is business.”  Still in beta, TrendSeeder, which Patel launched three months ago, a decade after her first brush with the fashion industry, is developing into an ideal venue for fostering young designers.
