Catwalk Genius Lets You Invest in Indie Fashion Designers

— February 10, 2009 — Fashion
If you’re looking for a way to exercise your fashion sense and maybe make a little money (or a lot, if all goes well) while you’re at it, Catwalk Genius may be the way to strut your stuff.

Catwalk Genius is a new organization that allows you to get involved in the high-glamour world of fashion without having any particular fashion skills.

Catwalk Genius, in short, introduces you to the fashion world and presents you with opportunities to invest in up and coming designers. The Catwalk Genius model is a new business trend that is making itself known in several industries around the world.

Catwalk Genius features independent designers and helps the designer raise money by soliciting investors (you). The investment money raised by Catwalk Genius goes to help independent designers produce and market their collections, and if the collection takes off, investors get a share of the profit.

Is it a risky investment? No doubt about that. There are no guarantees a designer you invest in will take off, but if you have a flair for fashion and believe you can pick a winner, you could find yourself strutting your stuff through the high-class part of town.
