Prompt: Reimagine a new Duke Business of Retail Society flagship event.

 

The Maker’s Market celebrates the art of creation and the joy of craftsmanship, allowing students to see some of the difficult and detailed work that goes into fashion. This event brings together members and general Duke students to explore hands-on creative skills such as embroidery, accessory making, painting, sewing, and mood board design. Surrounded by creative materials, conversation, and inspiration, participants will get an opportunity to learn new techniques while expressing their own style through thoughtful design. Serving as both a workshop and a social event, the Maker’s Market is a communal space for creativity, collaboration, and most importantly an appreciation of handmade artistry. The Maker’s Market will invite local artisans and craftsmen who can teach participants about their craft, supporting local creatives while also spreading their wisdom with Duke students. DBRS will leave a legacy of humility, creativity, and community with an event that celebrates the artists in the fashion industry that pour passion and grit into their work.
