Express Yourself Clothing Store: October 2013

We aren't your typical store:

Co-founders of Express Yourself Clothing

We’re both a traditional clothing exchange and a social purpose venture where young people from our community learn all aspects of operating a small business. In this unique environment, our customers can expect to receive courteous, professional service; high-quality clothing and accessories at great prices; and the knowledge that 100% of our revenues are reinvested in our urban internship program. Youth Express is a program of Keystone Community Services.

Our Trunk shows:
We have partnered with a designing class at St Catherine with Dr Anupama. Students take clothes from our store and use them as materials for their new wonderful creations. Apprentices from the store as well as managers choose a theme for the designers to go off of as inspiration. This year’s theme is “Timeless”. After a rigorous month and a half, the final products are produced and the trunk show is a go!
The trunk show is a night were students from St Cate’s and staff from EYC get together with you-the public-and show off the wonderful designs produced. During the night a panel of judges will critique and choose what garments are the most original, creative and follow best with the theme. But YOU also have a say! We hope you are excited and can attend our annual Trunk Show-Timeless- at the Store Friday November 8^th at 7pm-9pm.This is the third year of the Trunk Show and we are very excited to see what ventures are in are future.
