Around the District | GWFCC Fashion Caucus

If this doesn't prove that DC is vastly gaining ground in the fashion industry then nothing will. The Greater Washington Fashion Chamber of Commerce is on the move at trying to create a Fashion Caucus, and its creating quite a splash while doing so. With a purpose for fighting the issues affecting the fashion industry such as copyright protection for apparel and scholarship funds for fashion students, it is actually garnering support and seeing hopes of coming to fruition. With the support of Representatives Diane Watson (Democrat of California), Carolyn Maloney (Democrat, New York), Kendrick Meek (Democrat, Florida), Sheila Jackson-Lee (Democrat, Texas), Eleanor Holmes Norton (Democrat, D.C.), Chaka Fattah (Democrat, Pennsylvania), Rosa DeLauro (Democrat, Connecticut), and House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (Democrat, Michigan), the establishment could possible cement DC as a front runner in the fashion industry and make us even cooler than we already are. Thanks to our neighbors, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, DC has become more fashion centric and despite certain incidents with Mom Jeans, this administration has made DC younger, hipper, and sexier. The Fashion Caucus will only make it official.
