Flying Solo NYC

Flying Solo is a fashion retail concept store based in SoHo, New York City, and in Paris near the Louvre Museum.[1][2][3] The brand provides a platform for independent designers to showcase and sell their work through a shared retail space, press showroom and participation in fashion events, including New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Weeks.[4][5][6]

Background

Flying Solo was founded in 2016 by a group of fashion designers seeking an alternative to traditional retail and wholesale fashion structures.[7] The cooperative model allows designers to manage their own retail presence while benefiting from collaborative marketing and shared exposure.[8] Flying Solo has since expanded to include beauty and home categories, as well as a media showroom.[9]

Every season, Flying Solo presents collections from over 80 international designers in each show, further establishing itself as a platform for emerging talent to take off.[10][11][12][13]
