Kaylene Peoples met Tito Chowdhury back at Los Angeles Fashion Week’s Closing Party in Hollywood in 2012.  And all these years, they’ve kept in touch, had great conversations about fashion, and more recently . . . where fashion is heading.  

Tito is the founder and CEO of FashioNXT. “What’s Next in Fashion”  is their motto, and every October FashioNXT Week premiers the next season’s collections of designers on the runway in an innovative fashion experience in Portland, Oregon.  Post-pandemic FashioNXT brings back their show live in Downtown Broadway, rejuvenating the community and the fashion industry.  And designers come from all over the United States and Canada.  And one of the most anticipated programs of FashioNXT Week is the runway finale of UpNXT emerging designers accelerator as FashioNXT brings the industry experts to develop the next generation of talent.
