The Pin Show February 23, 2012

After a one year hiatus, The Pin Show announces its return with new direction and partnership. Julie McCullough Kim, Executive Producer and Founder of The Pin Show, brings on partner and newly named Executive Director, Bryan Embry. Embry is owner and Director of the Ross Akard Gallery at The Fairmont Dallas. The 2012 Pin Show will be held at The Fairmont Dallas in the Regency Ballroom on February 23, 2012.

The high energy annual event has become known for featuring the latest in locally produced, independent fashion on a runway, boasting over 150 looks from more than 30 designers. While most designers are Texas based, the most recent Pin Show featured designers from Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The Pin Show expects to see growth in its national reach with the introduction of the Artist in Residence Program and affiliation with The Fairmont Dallas, known for its support of the arts.

The Pin Show gives regional boutiques and buyers an opportunity to view independent lines during one showcase as well as meet with designers and discuss future business opportunities. In addition, guests will have a unique fashion experience that is generally reserved for high-end designers and their clientele. The show has been the first of its kind in the Southwest region to showcase a growing group of slow-fashion designers on one runway for an audience of over 1500 people, ranging from fashion hipsters to Dallas' influential fashion industry leaders.
