Fashion Life in the Southern Tier (and beyond)

The Southern Tier is full of creatives with a strong sense of grassroots entrepreneurship. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the fashion genre. In addition to being the hometown of the legendary Hilfiger Family, the region continues to inspire new generations of innovative fashion artists like streetwear designer, reality TV star and fashion consultant Eddy Knoxx, fashion mentor, designer and entertainment guru Jordan Brooks, and local fashion philanthropists Emmi Saufley and Katrina Hardiman, co-owners of the nonprofit Runway For A Cause.

Southern Tier Fashion Life explores the region's influence on all aspects of the fashion world, locally and globally with stories, podcasts and more.

Runway For A Cause and owner Emmi Saufley are riding a wave of accomplishment right now with business changes and professional accomplishments.
