Baltimore Museum of Industry to host Fashion Market Pop-ups

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Museum of Industry will host two pop-up fashion markets this fall, which will culminate in a fashion show.

It’s a partnership with the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts and coincides with Sustainable Fashion Week.

The pop-up markets will happen during the museum’s longtime Saturday farmers’ markets, off of Key Highway in Federal Hill.

BOPA already held one fashion market; the other two will be held Sept. 28 and Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Baltimore Fashion Market Pop-up is meant to promote sustainable fashion and reduce fashion waste.

Caprece Ann Jackson, fashion program coordinator at BOPA, said in a press release:

Each pop-up will let visitors shop a dozen local vendors, ranging from fashion and accessory designers to thrifters and more, BOPA said.

There will also be a sustainable fashion workshop at each pop-up.

Baltimore-based designer Iliana Quander, of Amparo3, will host a zero-waste workshop during the Sept. 28 market.

Philadelphia’s Nyambi Royster, of Nyambi Naturals, will run a natural dye workshop on Oct. 26.

There will also be a clothing swap; to participate, attendees should bring 5 to 7 items from their closets in good condition to the Fashion Market and register at the Sustainable Fashion Week US Booth.

The pop-ups will culminate in a fashion show at the museum on Oct. 31 (more details to come).
