The summit, which was formed by a group of University of Michigan students in 2018, aims to connect industry professionals with more than 700 annual attendees across dozens of universities looking to learn from the best, as well as grow their own future fashion empires.

Fürstenberg is a Belgian fashion designer best known for introducing the "wrap dress."
