#FlashbackFriday
Milwaukee Fashion Week is celebrating its 5 Year Anniversary! We're taking a look back at some of those who have been involved in shaping and growing our organization.

First up, one of our 2018 Fashion Week judges, Lynne Dixon the Dean of Academics and Founder of Edessa School of Fashion.

Dean Dixon-Speller is the visionary founder of Milwaukee’s Edessa School of Fashion. Edessa is named after Lynne’s paternal grandmother because of her academic achievements during a time when women, especially women of color, did not attend college or any other form of higher education. Edessa Meek Dixon’s accomplishments inspired Lynne as a third generation college graduate and educator. She has taught for over thirty years in the field of Apparel Design at Mount Mary University and The Art Institute of Wisconsin where she was promoted to department chair for both apparel design and fashion marketing. She also taught Interior Design at Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Lynne has been a designer since her teenage years, winning international design competitions as an educator, and contributing to several museum exhibitions, most notably, the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture, in the permanent collection. She has a strong interest in fantasy and statement garments. In business, she was a bridal and swimwear designer, operating under the trade name of Lynear Systems for thirty-three years.

With the 2019 New York Fashion Week coming up, we thought we'd take a look back at some of the early shows, known then as "press weeks."
