Are you a new fashion designer who is looking for new ways to develop and promote your fashion collection, while gaining exposure to some of the fashion industry's most respected movers and shakers? If so, you definitely should read on to learn more about this organization!

One of the most challenging aspects of becoming a fashion designer is having the right connections. As a new designer, it's key that you have access to fashion buyers, boutique owners, and amazing photographers to help you to launch your new fashion collections.

Gen Art is a popular arts organization that focuses on developing and showcasing the skills and talents of up & coming fashion designers, artists, musicians and film-makers. The organization provides new fashion designers with an opportunity to showcase their work to a credible audience of tastemakers & fashion industry leaders.

The management of Gen Art has recently decided to re-launch their "Fresh Faces in Fashion" Program, which is partially responsible for the rise of the careers of some of today's hottest young fashion designers, such as Zac Posen, Geren Ford, Rebecca Taylor, Vena Cava & Phillip Lim.

Gen Art has re-organized its organization and has big plans to help develop new fashion designers by providing them with the support required to show their fashion designs on the runway. Gen Art's "Fresh Faces in Fashion" Program will also teach designers how to build successful fashion lines and get product distribution, while providing priceless exposure to some of the biggest names in the fashion industry! The organization will soon be seeking designers to join their spring 2012 "Fresh Faces in Fashion" Program!

Elizabeth Shaffer, Gen Art's Co-President, stated that "We want to be able to introduce designers who may not be ready to show on the runway but are well on their way. We can provide guidance early on and get them out there. You can still sell and create signature pieces online and develop an online following before you're ready to show on the runway." The newly relaunched "Fresh Faces in Fashion" sounds like a perfect launching pad for new designers!

When the fashion program was initially introduced in 1995, social media was pretty much non-existent and online shopping was unheard of. With the "Fresh Faces in Fashion" program being re-launched, Gen Art will maximize social media usage and various e-commerce vehicles to aid in building the careers of the fashionistas that they decide to take under their wings.
