The power of fashion lies in its ability to transform identity and culture. Fashion, like art, embodies the time we live in and society bears witness to the interpretation of its historical and cultural significance. 

-RP Hill

Rhonda P. Hill, founder of E D G E fashion intelligence, has created a platform and on-line magazine, EDGExpo.com, claiming a unique space within the fashion industry, elevating design excellence, while conveying an intelligent approach involving the shifting dynamics necessary for the future of the industry, called fashion intelligence, which respects the cultural dynamics of identity and deep ecological thinking. As a proponent of cultural, ecological, aesthetic, and sociological values, Hill thus presents narratives more closely aligned with anthropologically and ethically responsible modalities of fashion. 

Since its inception in 2014, E D G E fashion intelligence has built a vibrant network and database of international industry professionals. The E D G E brand exposure has an engaging audience leveraging the right connections with key players in the industry. The website, EDGExpo.com, publishes content reaching an audience from all parts of the globe with 62.4% of viewers from the following countries: United States 37%; United Kingdom 11%; Australia 5.8%; Canada 4.3%; India 4.3% – non-U.S. viewers represent 63%. The top category and interest are sustainable EDGE, with the top viewing article, over 50,000 views annually, Fashion Industry Environmental, Waste, and Recycle Statistics. 

The EDGE network connects through exposure, exhibition, editorial, and education – The 4 E’s.  The 4 E’s summarize the EDGE vision and progress to date. 

1. EXPOSURE – EDGExposition presents the opportunity for emerging designers to gain exposure through cultural networks, fashion/industry events, and internet media exposure. E D G E is on the scene covering these events.  EDGE Radar designer and industry professional “talks” are the centerpiece of the E D G E platform.
2. EXHIBITION – E D G E champions designer exhibitions in galleries and art institutions. The founder, Rhonda P. Hill, is a fashion curator.  By leveraging the E D G E network, she offers a glimpse into an ongoing curatorial project dedicated to exposing the work of emerging designers in art-exhibition venues.  A recent show “CLOTH, Construct, CULTURE: fashion builds a story” exhibited over 50 objects featuring vanguards in fashion with strong practices reflecting cultural, ecological, and sociological issues.  “CLOTH, Construct, CULTURE highlights narrative within fashion design as a force of cultural influence, an art form capable of affecting change”, reviewed by Matthew Trueherz of Portland Monthly.

3. EDITORIAL – EDGExpo.com provides industry market information; statistics; opinions; stories and insights; links to industry business resources. It serves a niche market in the need for fashion intelligence – a collection of data, reports, suggested resources, industry interviews – with a means of connection for those new to the industry and a resource for the academic community.
4. EDUCATION – to complement academic studies and viewer interest, EDGE-ucation category provides tools, reports, resources, and professional business tips from experience based best practices and expertise. The popular FAQ series responds to frequently asked questions and is a guide to further research, and unknown facts can be found in “Fashion Unknown Fact” articles. In addition, EDGE Remembers are untold stories of fashion’s history, a void in fashion education and academia.
