Link Club June 2022

KSU’s Hillary Stone and The Business of Fashion in London

Please join us on Friday 10th June for our monthly Link Club luncheon in collaboration with the Loxley Purse Foundation at the Cleveland Skating Club as we welcome Professor Hillary Stone from Kent State University’s Fashion School for a special presentation on the Business of Fashion in London.

Learn about the economics and other tangible elements that make London one of the fashion capitals of the world. This is also a great opportunity to learn about Kent State’s Fashion Program, their special connection with London, and how the Loxley Purse Foundation supports students in their semester abroad studies in the UK. We will also have a presentation by Kent State Fashion Student Natalie K. who is our most recent Scholarship recipient of the Loxley Purse on her experience of studying at Regents University London last fall.
