Created by music and fashion insiders, FMMF hopes to help brand Columbus as the Midwest's music and retail fashion leader, much like Austin has been crowned an emerging music mecca and showcase for new talent development, due to its 27 year run with their popular SXSW Festival.
Fashion Meets Music UK (FMM), which is currently on its European Tour, will be teaming up with Fashion Meets Music Festival (FMMF). FMM was established in Los Angeles, California in 2006 to showcase emerging designers, artists and talent; followed by the UK in 2009 to provide a platform for creatives in the form of Events, Pop Up Shops and Workshops.
FMM UK will import its experience and expertise to the United States with an array of music and designer talent, bringing an international flavor to the FMMF marketplace, which will showcase local, regional, national and now international brands.
