    019: Solo Show with Andrea - Why I'm likely never joining a group fashion popup again

    019: Solo Show with Andrea - Why I'm likely never joining a group fashion popup again

    In EP019 of Sushi Fridays The Podcast, host Andrea Pascual (@andreapascual.co) shares her experience participating in her first (and maybe only) group fashion popup event in Toronto. 

    Takeaways:

    Participating in a group fashion popup event can provide valuable knowledge and insights about your brand

    Having control over the presentation and curation of your brand is important for maintaining brand integrity

    The fashion scene in Toronto may not provide the same level of support and opportunities as other cities

    Thinking globally and spreading your brand message beyond your local market can be beneficial
