The Fashion Outsider Team

The Fashion Outsider wouldn’t happen without an AMAZING team of volunteers. Every month we get together to gab about fashion trends, inspiration and what we would want to read about on the internet. In addition to contributing in their individual areas of expertise, each team member contributes to the overall content in every issue. It is a true collaboration and team effort. Go team!
