Deeply embedded into the mission of INTERFORM is the professional development of our talented network of creatives. We want our designers, artists, models, hairstylists, makeup artists, sewists, event producers, and others to have resume-building, transferrable skills that launch compelling careers. These are not just flashy hobbies - to build an industry we will need industry professionals, and we intend to "grow our own" and lift the industry up as we do.
From the flashiest runway shows, the most sleek and inspiring editorials, to catalog shoots and social media promotions – our industry demands talented hair and makeup professionals, and we provide networking opportunities, workshops, tutorials, and guidance on how to fit your skill set in hair and makeup into a glamorous and aspirational work of art. INTERFORM supports the creative community by offering platforms for hair and makeup teams through editorials, art events and runway programming.

Most especially, we want to create an entry point for white women who want to participate as anti-racist allies but may not have the right tool-kit or know how to enter the conversation.
