THE WOMAN BEHIND THE DRESS

Meet Ashley.

NEW YORK EXPERIENCE. BOSTON POSSIBILITY.

Fashion’s next chapter.
Built together in Boston.

Mercer & Beacon and Hudson & Common share a bigger ambition: to build a fashion community here in Boston.

Our vision brings together people from New York City’s fashion industry who now call Boston home, alongside local designers, makers and technologists. A place to find one another, share knowledge, and keep ideas and opportunity moving between both cities.

01 / CONNECTION

Two cities. One community.

Bring fashion’s creative and technical talent into the same room, building lasting relationships between New York and Boston.

02 / MAKING

Develop here. Make here.

Build relationships with Massachusetts makers and manufacturers, with the ambition to develop, sample and produce more fashion close to home.

03 / POSSIBILITY

New tools. Human craft.

Explore technology and AI in design, prototyping and production planning, giving skilled people more room to create the next era of American fashion.

Our vision for Boston’s fashion community
