Suarez: Collaboration between the various entities and institutions we have here in the region could be stronger, but I think within the next couple of years or next few years, things will transform for the better. Gazelle: What do you love about the local fashion scene? Suarez: It’s an exciting time to be in St. Louis. There are many established fashion programs, as well as new organizations building a very strong scene here. Other supporting components of the fashion supply chain are starting to emerge that will make it an almost turn-key spot for fashion.
