You’re invited! On Thursday, November 29 from 6:15pm to 8:00pm, MR magazine’s Karen Alberg Grossman and Stephen Garner will be hosting a panel discussion at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City.

The evening’s panel will include a lively discussion about what defines a “must-have” brand, how to achieve this, and how important branding and marketing is to the success of a clothing line.

Past industry experts who have contributed to the success of this program include menswear designer David Hart, The Doneger Group’s Tim Bess, as well as Ken Giddon from Rothmans; and Kevin Harter from Bloomingdale’s, among others.
