About Us
The National Fashion Conference. Connecting Creativity, Education, and Industry.
The Garment League (TGL) is a national fashion conference created to bring together designers, creatives, educators, and industry leaders for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and innovation within the fashion industry. Founded by Tricee Thomas, TGL was established to fill a critical gap — the need for an annual conference dedicated to elevating conversations around creativity, education, and the business of fashion.
​
Launching in Arizona in Fall 2026, The Garment League will serve as a premier gathering for industry professionals and emerging talent alike. The conference will feature curated panels, special guest speakers, industry forums, and networking experiences designed to inspire new ideas and create real opportunities across the fashion ecosystem.
​
TGL focuses on connecting key areas of the industry — from creative design and visual storytelling to education, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. By bringing together diverse voices and perspectives, the conference aims to foster collaboration and strengthen pathways within the fashion and creative industries.
​
Through thoughtful programming and high-level discussions, The Garment League creates a platform where industry leaders and future innovators can exchange ideas, build relationships, and shape the future of fashion together.
