DIALECTIVE is a fashion collective celebrating an upcoming generation of radically distinct independent talent.
Functioning as a 501c3 nonprofit, we invest in upcoming graduates entering the industry and newly emerging designers. We successfully created the first ever student-run fashion show featuring 20 designers’ thesis collections, and every year a new incoming class will lead the next showcase.
We continue our impact for post-grads as a C Corp with showrooms scheduled during NYFW and opportunities to existing members of DIALECTIVE with direct opportunities available to members only.

Fostering a supportive community in the fashion industry, DIALECTIVE invests a sense of belonging for peers. Isolation is typical industry-wide with young designers, but DIALECTIVE objects separation for solidarity. Founded to recognize new ideologies and advancements, DIALECTIVE works in pursuit of creating and exploring narratives within our cultural phenomena, particularly surrounding the intersections of fashion, art, and society.
Individuals within the collective harness a heightened awareness for creativity, activism, and questioning of existing industry standards. Finding inspiration in resistance, DIALECTIVE never underestimates the power of unity.
