Boston, MA September 18th & 19th, 2010 Sister 2 Sister was the first ever all-female sneaker design workshop, and it was amazing! From the talent and hard work of our participants to the skills and sharing of our mentor-designers, and generosity of our sponsors, the two day workshop was a testament to what women can do when they build together--across ages, backgrounds, experience levels, and even sneaker companies! Here are some shots from the weekend... [Back by popular demand, Sister 2 Sister 2 took place in the Spring of 2011.]
