Business X Design is MODA’s event series that explores how design fuels innovation, solves complex challenges, and shapes the world we live in. We invite boundary-pushing creatives to share the bold ideas and design thinking behind their work.
About the Event:
Join MODA for an evening with Chris Peeples, founder of the Atlanta Streetwear Market (ASWM) — one of the most dynamic and influential platforms for emerging fashion talent in the Southeast.
Founded in 2017, ASWM has grown into a powerful cultural force, amplifying the voices of independent designers, especially young Black creatives, and redefining what fashion entrepreneurship looks like in Atlanta and beyond.
This edition of Business X Design will explore the design-driven origins of the Atlanta Streetwear Market, tracing Chris’s journey from concept to movement. We’ll examine how he and his team built a creative ecosystem that merges fashion, community, and business, while maintaining streetwear’s core values: authenticity, storytelling, and radical self-expression.
Together We’ll Discuss:
The rise of Atlanta as a streetwear capital
How ASWM supports independent designers and builds community
The role of streetwear in shaping cultural identity and social change
What it takes to launch and grow a design-forward business in today’s creative economy
Whether you're passionate about fashion or innovative entrepreneurship, this conversation promises to inspire your imagination!
What to Expect:
Arrive by 5:30 to immerse yourself in the exhibition The Hoodie: Identity, Power, Protest.
At 6:30 PM, Janis Middleton will embark in a conversation with Chris Peeples, founder of the Atlanta Streetwear Market
Connect with fellow design and streetwear enthusiasts, support local enterprises, and engage in meaningful conversations about the artistry, ethics, and impact of design in the chocolate-making process.
