The Pin Show

RUNWAY

REVIEW

"I am so inspired by those who are willing

and brave enough to create change by being innovative
and willing to take chances. That is what the Pin Show
and it's creators represent to me. Innovation in society!

I am also aware of the kind of work ethic and dedication
it takes to produce an entire collection such as those
presented at the Pin Show. Most of these designers
made everything from start to finish with their own
hands, no factories involved. That's talent & dedication
to me."

I WANT THAT WHOLE LOOK

Memory Jora

The Pin Show came about 10 years ago when its founder Julie McCullough, sought to create a platform and launching pad for
emerging and established designers in her community. This fashion designer and a group of like minded artists decided to pin
their ideas and resources together, and bring to life a platform where they could showcase their designs, as well as create com-
merce for the fashion community around them. Hence the name “The Pin Show”. The show was a huge success. Each year it has
continued to showcase designs from emerging and established fashion designers, as well as music from local artists. Anyone se-
lected can show their work, even designers still enrolled in fashion design school. The show is not exclusive to established de-
signers or fashion students still enrolled in classes. It is for anyone with a point of view and a collection to showcase. To me that
is really what makes the show very special, the fact that it is open to everyone. ~Memory Jora, On The Pin Show Dallas
