FW 24/25 MUSE
WHEN
April 13th - 17th
WHERE
Hall of Fame
Join us at the Hall of Fame as we launch the latest FW 24/25 trend, pushing the ideals of what consumers will gravitate toward in the year ahead. This season, we explore the Gen Z mindset with Muse - a warm, funky, and eclectic curation that speaks to younger generations. Assembling old and new designs, we focus on the collector's mentality, where what feels obvious to the design world becomes a new zeitgeist for younger consumers. These interiors aren’t tied to any one time or place, often representing many eras and artistic movements. We crave sentimental home pieces that evoke feelings of heritage, interpersonal connection, and thoughtful artistry. This exhibit is sponsored by High Point Market Authority, the International Textile Alliance, and the Hall of Fame.
