Across The Aisle: Bringing Art, Fashion, & Culture Under One Roof!

Here at Efendee, we like to do things differently: we like to consider ourselves as the leader in all things fashion-forward innovation. In efforts of creating a memorable shopping experience that encompasses small businesses, creatives, professionals, & entrepreneurs alike- we created and birthed the Concept of "Across The Aisle". 

Across The Aisle is an event dedicated to bringing together various groups and individuals of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and professions to network, fellowship, and exchange ideas in a networking mixer, laxed setting. Attendees are encouraged to shop and support the store and local pop-up shop vendors, however not obligated. The event’s purpose is to build community as opposed to revenue [that’s just a bonus!] The event is also FREE…making it easier for smaller businesses and Entrepreneurs to be able to take part. 

The purpose of Across The Aisle, is to bridge gaps and intellectual disparities amongst creators and business owners in the community. It’s a way for EFENDEE to organically build connections in the community and establish great relationships through networking metrics. Across The Aisle consists of a 12-month series of events that occur once a month, that focus on a particular theme ranging from Education, Real Estate, and Politics; to Fashion, Entertainment, and Entrepreneurship. 

In commemoration of Black History Month and Women's History Month this year, EfenDee Clothing in collaboration with Frankie Red Entertainment, The Fara Charles Project, and The Phoenix TV- Hosted the first ever Black Fashion Expo and Women On The Rise Fashion Expo; as we Celebrated names in Black Fashion and Entertainment in February as well as uplift Women- Owned Businesses and Entrepreneurs in March.

These Networking Mixers encompassed local Fashion and Entertainment Industry Professionals and Entrepreneurs, while sipping on BLACK-OWNED Rozay bubbly, supporting small businesses, & enjoying special pop up performances by Poets, Vocalists, and Speakers. Taking place inside the very walls of EFENDEE— we are a storefront that’s more than just a boutique…we are the blueprint for the next Black Wallstreet.
