The fashion industry is facing some incredibly daunting challenges and unfortunately the collapse of the retail market will have dire consequences on the lives and creativity of the design community. We hope that our economy is on the road to recovery and that 2009 will bring better news to come.

At ThreadMe, we are facing challenges of our own during this crisis. But we will continue to push forward and ensure that the fashion community can continue to connect, share, and grow together on ThreadMe.

As you can see, ThreadMe is evolving to become your one stop shop for all things fashion. ThreadMe originally began as a Fashion Business Network for designers to connect with retailers. ThreadMe has since grown to deliver you fashion related news and stories from the web.

Now, we have just released the ThreadMe Forums - a place for anyone to share their thoughts, post classifieds or jobs, and converse with others who have a passion for fashion. Thanks for being a part the ThreadMe community and have a blessed and happy new year.
