The countdown to WHAT SHE SAID is on

The popular What She Said event series returns to W Bellevue this Thursday, October 13th, in partnership with Bellevue Fashion Week. Designed to bring powerful women together for candid conversations that cultivate community and drive progress, the series will re-launch with a focus on trailblazing women in fashion. The high-energy event includes a panel discussion, shopping marketplace featuring women-owned brands, immersive photo opportunities, drinks + light bites, networking opportunities, and more.

The panel will feature a full range of fashion industry experience including entrepreneur Elisa Yip of Sskein, Brittany Sierra of The Sustainable Fashion Forum, jewelry designer Valerie Madison, and fashion consultant Lauren Pistoia. The fashion industry is a competitive and ever-evolving place; these inspirational women will share their entrepreneurial journeys, valuable tips for success, and strategies for navigating the “next normal”.

"It's exciting to be part of the growing fashion community in Seattle. With the amount of talent in the city, I’m grateful that we have this incredible opportunity to gather, share ideas, and manifest our creativity,” said featured panelist Elisa Yip.

A portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold will benefit Ada Developers Academy, a Seattle-founded non-profit working to provide cost-free coding classes to women and gender-expansive adults.

This is a great event for fashion fans, industry professionals, small business owners, women in fashion, and content creators building their own brands. Tickets to this final Bellevue Fashion Week event are going fast. Get them before they’re gone!
