members become more effective in their careers. To do this, FGI provides insights on major trends

HISTORY:
It all began in 1928 when 17 women, gathered by Edna Woolman Chase, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, met for
lunch in a modest midtown New York restaurant. They had three things in common: Each held a job of
consequence in the business of fashion, each held all the others in high regard and together they held a belief
that fashion needed a forum, a stage, or a force to express and enhance a widening awareness of the
American fashion business and of women’s roles in that business.
The Fashion Group®, conceived at an informal luncheon in 1928 became an organization in 1930, with a place,
a purpose, by-laws, officers and women eager to be members.
Some of those Founding and Charter members were: Elizabeth Arden, Margaret Case, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Helena Rubinstein, Julia Coburn, Lilly Dache, Jessica Daves, Nan Duskin, Edith Head, Eleanor LeMaire, Claire
McCardell, Clare Potter, Virginia Pope, Dorothy Shaver, Adele Simpson, Carmel Snow, Miss Tobé
Their first office space was donated by Louis Fairchild in his Women's Wear Daily building on East 12th Street.
The second office space was at 572 Madison Avenue, donated by Harper’s Bazaar. Then in 1934, from the
minutes of the Board meeting of October 18: Discussion as to how to meet the rent of the contemplated
space in 30 Rockefeller Center included a Fashion Group party using talent within the membership lampooning
fashion, to be known as The Fashion Follies™.
Today, The Fashion Group® offers membership to both men and women.

Designs on local Fashion Week
By Michael Quintanilla - Express-News
If New York, Miami, Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Dallas and Austin can do it, why not a fashion week —
actually four days of shows, workshops and parties — for San Antonio?
The Alamo City chapter of the New York-based Fashion Group International is setting its designs on making it
happen, determined to let the rest of the world know that San Antonio's fashion image isn't just about wearing
cowboy boots and hats, says Priscilla Martinez, the group's program coordinator. Martinez and Sheila
Masterson, the group's regional director, and other key members are involved in pulling together the Oct. 6 to 9
event at various locales.
In the planning stages are two fashion shows. "Go Green" will kick off the four-day occasion with an ecofriendly runway theme. The other, "A Night of Stars" gala will close out fashion week with a show featuring
local designers, hopefully "a big name" and later, an awards program honoring emerging talent and individuals
who have made a difference in the industry, locally. While the shows require purchasing a ticket, many, if not
all of the other events will be free.
Additionally, educational workshops, seminars and fashion exhibits are in the works. Several committees
(publicity, sponsorship, educational and fashion show production) are in place, manned by fashion group
members and other volunteers who turned out for a recent meeting at the International Academy of Design and
Technology that offers a fashion program.
"With three months to go, we've got the wheels turning," Martinez says about the fall event. "We have a lot of
talent here and this talent needs to be cultivated. People grow up here, learn here and train here. They go off
and do big things in New York and Europe. And they tend to come back to San Antonio and bring their art back
with them. San Antonio is where we want them to make their mark as well and having a fashion week will show
that we do have a lot to offer."
