You know Fred Flare as a retailer of the modern, cute, and cheeky. Affordable and fun, Fred Flare is a less suburban Urban Outfitters with a sense of humor. For a couple of years now, Fred Flare has done this Next Big Thing search for makers of Fred-esque wares. The chosen ones have come from all over the US. Time for Portland to represent.
What are they looking for? They’re open to jewelry, clothing, accessories, printed matter, CD’s and DVD’s, home items, and more characterized by what they call “surprising awesomeness.” You’ll get an idea by looking at past winners. (Cute works.)
What’s in it for you? Well if your work is chosen, Fred Flare places a wholesale order for it. And they generously link to your website giving you exposure + sales. And this year, one entrant will get a $1000 prize. Nice.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
