Columbus, OH – May 12, 2025 – Internationally celebrated fashion brand BruceGlen, known for their color-rich, spiritually inspired collections and bold storytelling, will take center stage in Columbus, Ohio this spring as featured keynote speakers for the Columbus Fashion Council Industry Conference, and through an exclusive three-day fashion activation in partnership with IL Moda Brands, Downtown Columbus, and Common Thread Shops on Third.

The celebration begins on May 29 with a private VIP Night from 7–9 PM, followed by a two-day public pop-up shop on May 30–31, from 10 AM to 6 PM at Common Thread Shops on Third, a fashion-forward retail district in downtown Columbus. As part of their appearance, BruceGlen will also debut a custom visual campaign and artistic retail window installation in the historic Lazarus window display on High Street, serving as both an homage to Columbus’ retail legacy and a symbol of its future as a creative powerhouse.

“Columbus is quickly becoming one of our favorite places,” said Bruce and Glen Proctor, co-founders and designers of BruceGlen. “It’s a city with deep roots in fashion and a growing wave of creative energy that deserves to be seen on a national stage. Being here as keynote speakers and launching a three-day pop-up isn’t just about showcasing our designs, it’s about celebrating the bold, joyful spirit of this community. We believe fashion should uplift and connect, and Columbus is the perfect place to keep that mission alive. We’re honored to be part of this moment and excited to pour into a city that’s already poured so much into us.”

Known for their spiritually infused, inclusive fashion and vibrant storytelling, BruceGlen has been recognized by Vogue, Essence, InStyle, and the CFDA, and has dressed celebrities including Billy Porter, KeKe Palmer, and Laverne Cox. Their Columbus debut marks a significant milestone for both the brand and the city.

“This is a pivotal moment for Columbus,” said Thomas McClure, Interim Executive Director and Founder of the Columbus Fashion Council. “To have BruceGlen join us for our annual Industry Conference and bring their immersive, high-energy brand experience to downtown is a celebration of the progress we’ve made, and a bold look at where we’re headed. Columbus is more than ready to be seen and respected on a national stage.”

The Lazarus window installation, which features BruceGlen’s signature storytelling visuals, will run throughout the pop-up weekend and is free and open to the public. The address for the pop-up shop at the Common Thread Shops on Third is 257 S. Third St. Columbus, Ohio 43215.
