About Fashion Industry Gallery
Fashion Industry Gallery (FIG) is a stand-out event venue located at 1807 Ross Avenue in the heart of downtown Dallas, just off Akard Street near the Fairmont Dallas. Housed in a mid-century modern building, FIG serves as a sophisticated space for special events and as a five-times-per-year wholesale fashion market with curated showrooms.
