Where Students Connect to Chicago’s Fashion Industry
Are you a fashion student, creative entrepreneur, or emerging designer?
Join the AIBI Student Ambassador Program and help us spread the word that Chicago has a Fashion community, and it's a great place to build your brand.
We’re building a community of student leaders who want to make fashion more accessible, more innovative, and more connected. As an ambassador, you’ll help bring AIBI to your campus—while gaining access to industry mentorship, events, and real-world tools to launch your own brand or land your first job after graduation.
