Fashion Stake

NY Mag's The Cut recently ran a story about how anyone can invest $50 in a new fashion label. This idea is brought to you by a website called Fashion Stake, which apparently even though getting plugs from NY Mag, isn't up and running yet.

The concept behind the idea is to have anyone invest their money into these new brands. While your money might not yield you the highest return, it gives you dividends in fashion show tickets and discounts. If I had the $50 to invest for a designer who doesn't have the $50 to invest, I would surely sign up!

This is a good way to get involved in the industry and to feel connected to a designer, however, I wouldn't bank on getting to many invites to their shows since they may or may not have enough money to do them.
