ABOUT DRESSHER
Timed to capture the cultural and media momentum around the Met Gala (May 5), DressHer will mark The Unlocked Foundation’s first NYC summit. This event will redefine fashion, presenting it not just as self-expression, but as a sophisticated investment strategy with tangible financial implications.
As women drive global consumer spending in the fashion market, many remain unaware of the untapped wealth-building potential hidden in their closets. DressHer aims to educate, inspire, and empower women to view their wardrobe choices through the lenses of materials, craftsmanship, resale value, and long-term returns. From luxury handbags to haute couture and fine jewelry, this event will highlight how fashion can function as a portfolio for wealth creation.
Why Now?
Fashion is gaining recognition as an asset class, with the secondary luxury market growing exponentially. Hosting DressHer during the same week as the Met Gala leverages heightened fashion interest while promoting financial literacy and wealth creation. This aligns with the broader cultural momentum surrounding women’s financial empowerment and sustainable luxury.
