Five of the nine designers who have showrooms at the FIT Design Entrepreneurs space will be available to meet with buyers there during Market Week, February 25 through February 28. Located at 520 Eighth Avenue at 36th Street, the 5,400-square-foot space is close to the Javits Center, where Market Week is held, and steps from the 36 Street and Eighth Avenue stop of the shuttle that runs during Market Week, making it convenient for buyers to stop by. The designers will also meet by appointment in March.
