PopCon Fashion Show with Dykemint

PopCon Indy is proud to debut its inaugural Fashion Show; a fresh, high-energy celebration of alternative style, J-fashion, and indie streetwear.

From Lolita and Harajuku aesthetics to Decora, Kei styles, anime-inspired streetwear, and beyond, this event highlights the creativity, individuality, and artistry of designers and communities from all over the country.

We’re excited to bring vibrant, boundary-pushing fashion directly to the PopCon main stage for the very first time.
