FOUNDERFOUNDERHappy FIfteenth AnnIversary, Fashion Week Columbus! Reflecting on the past 15 years, I’m filled with immense pride in how the Fashion Week Columbus program and the Columbus Fashion Council have evolved. What began in 2010 as a four-day fashion week has grown into a dynamic nonprofit organization that still embodies its grassroots spirit. Our vision has expanded to provide necessary support to fashion designers and other industry professionals, enabling them to thrive as small businesses. We’re also deeply committed to empowering the next generation through scholarships for fashion design students with our CFC Scholarship program and honoring those who make a significant impact through fashion with the Columbus Fashion Awards. Through programs like Fashion Week Columbus, The Fashion Industry Conference, and the Columbus Fashion Awards, the Columbus Fashion Council continues to help drive our city’s cultural narrative, placing fashion at the forefront of Columbus’s identity.To the FWC24 designers and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make magic happen on and beyond the runway, congratulations and thank you for your passion and dedication. Your eorts are what make the magic of Fashion Week Columbus possible. Together, we’re forging a vibrant FUTURE OF FASHION in our beautiful city.Founder/Board Member Emeritus Columbus Fashion CouncilThomas McClureFrom theFWC 20246 7FWC 2024

FASHION WEEK COLUMBUS 2024 HEADLINE DESIGNERSWe’ve always loved fashion even when we didn’t know to call it fashion; we watched our older sister get fly to go to the club, admired the craftsmanship of fancy church hats in the 90’s and even made paper dolls with interchangeable looks! Our fashion journey really began at Albright College in Reading Pennsylvania where we began to learn the business of fashion, merchandising, that the fashion figure is 9 heads tall and how to draft a pattern one could use to bring a garment to life. Glen studied fashion Merchandising and Business Marketing while I(Bruce) studied fashion design. Our next chapter, New York, was naturally our next step but came quicker than we imagined when we were forced to drop out of school because of financial diiculties. The dropout came on the heels of a Summer internship for Beyonce’s House of Dereon between our Sophomore and Junior year! We dropped out and began our lives in NYC as fashion designers. Our 16 year on-the-job education included a 5 year stint at American Rag Cie., sold at Macys and became the number one juniors brand.We’ve launched celebrity brands for Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, and Trey Songz, and a life altering lay-o pushed us to focus on freelancing which gave us flexibility for mentoring and ministry but left us financially struggling most of the time. We decided to go back to work full-time and were blessed to get hired together. Bruce was hired as the head designer and Glen became head of Marketing for a brand called Tailorbyrd! In 2019 we decided to focus on accessories, designing a full bag collection which took o during the pandemic. In 2021, we designed and launched a sustainable clothing collection which has gained even more traction than the handbags that launched our business. Our collections are bold, electric, conversational and inclusive. We aim to create an inclusive community with BruceGlen… giving customers and fans of the brand oppportunities to be featured on our platforms, model our runway shows and creating and optimizing new features internally for fit and custom garment creation.BRUCE GLENBRUCE GLENPROCTORPROCTOR&FWC 202418 19FWC 2024
