The story of Vanilla Plaza began in 2017, when a group of fashion enthusiasts came together to create The Vanilla Issue, a fashion social media platform that aimed to support and promote the work of students and emerging designers. Over the years, The Vanilla Issue grew in popularity and gained a reputation for being a trusted source of inspiration and new talent in the fashion industry.
However, the team at The Vanilla Issue knew that they could do more to support the next generation of fashion designers. And so, in 2023, they launched Vanilla Plaza – a multi-vendor platform that is dedicated to fostering creativity and community within the fashion industry.
At Vanilla Plaza, we believe that everyone should have the chance to share their unique vision and creativity with the world. Our platform gives students, emerging designers and independent labels a space to sell their work and connect with customers around the globe. We are committed to helping these individuals turn their passion into a successful business.
Our mission is to empower the next generation of fashion designers by providing them with the tools, resources and community they need to succeed.
We’re more than just a marketplace. We’re a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about fashion, creativity and supporting new talents. At Vanilla Plaza, we believe that together we can change the fashion industry for the better.
