TIBI Talk – Fall 2015 Runway Show in Athens and Social Media Strategy
In the excitement of NY Fashion Week, we can’t help but look ahead to when Creative Director Amy Smilovic of Tibi visits Athens at The Cotton Press via Heery’s Clothes Closet for a Fall 2015 Runway Show. This is a great example of #connectcollaboratecreate via members of The Southern Coterie. Amy of Tibi is a past Southern C Summit presenter and Heery’s is a regular Summit attendee and sponsor but they have known each other from the start of Amy’s career as Rusty Heery is one of her first buyers after knowing her in college at The University of Georgia. It’s the support team of the show that brings in new connections from The Southern Coterie. From Pout doing the models’ makeup to leapfrog PR Co doing the press to BMA at Home styling the VIP Area to Epting Events venue and event support, it’s a great group of Southern creatives collaborating. You can purchase tickets here to attend October 1, 2015 and if you can’t join us, follow along at #TIBIXHEERYS.
Tibi’s social media director created a presentation for us in 2014
