FAQs
Looking for clarity on a few things? Although our FAQs listed in your Solar or Star Vendor Package are extremely informative, we've listed basic, initial questions that will help you decide if this is a right fit for your brand.
1) What's going on here?
Strictly Yours Fashion Event or SYFE (pronounced SAHY - fe) is a fashion shopping event series featuring curated independent brands and celebration. As the third installment of Feli Kiwi's shopping event series with a new look | new name | new logo, SYFE promises to be a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and commerce!
2) What is Melanfroasis?
Melanfroasis is a celebratory mood. Combining the essences of melanin (our cosmic shell), the crown (our subliminal textures) and the oasis (our core ambiance), an ethnic pride exudes that is shared with our community and beyond.
3) Do you have to be Black to participate as a vendor, sponsor or shopper?
No. While we exude strong pride in our African/Black Global diaspora experience and descendant cultures as well as take special pride in telling our stories, our shoppers, guests, sponsors, staff, affiliates -- everybody -- are more than welcome to join in the festivities!
