WEDNESDAY 9 SEPTEMBER

The Family Office Dinner at Cipriani. Twenty covers, one table: family office principals, the sponsors underwriting the week, and a few of the designers walking it. No published guest list, no press.

Three ways in: $1,500 for a seat, $5,000 for the head of the table with introductions made before the first course, $15,000 to take the whole room. Seats are given, not sold on a page. Your card is held, not charged, until I approve the seat.

Request a seat, or reply CIPRIANI and I will call you.

THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER

WOW New York Fashion Week at Matriarch, 512 West 42nd Street. Doors at two, runway shows and live entertainment through the night, and a happy hour room from five hosted by Richie Hosein. Produced by Shawn Kaplan and S.A.F.E. Global. Propel is bringing people into it.

MONDAY 14 SEPTEMBER

Cocktails and Conversations, Times Square. Four panels back to back from half past four until eight. How AI Is Changing the Landscape in Fashion. Faith and Fashion. How Do I Get an Investor. EMERGE, How to Start a Brand. Founders, investors, designers and press, seated, for four hours.

None of the four panels is cast. RSVP for the room at M Social's rooftop, or reply and I will send you a seat.

TUESDAY 15 SEPTEMBER

Times Square Fashion Week, Father Duffy Square. Exhibitor marketplace from noon, awards at five, the designer runway six to eight, the billboards light at nine, after party until eleven. Outdoors in the middle of Times Square, so the audience is the street as much as the seats.

Sponsoring or exhibiting at Times Square Fashion Week? Reply DECK and I will send the sponsorship deck over.

Collaborating on Hamptons Fashion Week instead? Monday the 7th at 4 PM, register for the info session and get the terms for press, models, creators and sponsors in one sitting.

PANEL SEATS, NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

This is for you if you have built a company, deployed capital or run rooms. A seat gets you three things: the room, the recording, and the introductions I make out of it by hand.

Open now: panel seats on Monday, stage slots on Tuesday, and the rest of Propel's programming between the ninth and the fifteenth. Founders, investors, operators, executives and media people. Ten questions, about two minutes, nothing to pay. If you are picked you owe one prep call and being in the room on time. Your name goes on nothing public until you say the word.

Or hit reply with the word PANELIST and whatever you want me to know. Both land with me, I read every one, and you hear back either way.

Reply PANELIST for a seat on Monday, CIPRIANI for Wednesday, or DECK for the sponsorship numbers. I read every one myself.

Best,

Stephen Michael, Chief Executive Officer, Propel Earth

IF YOU MISSED THE LAST FEW

How to get inside New York Fashion Week without an invitation. What a ticket to the fifteenth actually costs, and the code that cuts every tier by twenty percent.
The Propel Card: the shortest distance from intent to outcome. Four minutes, read by a person, and nobody takes without giving.
I have been sending 16,830 people the same email. One tap changes every email you get from me after it.

THE PRIVATE NETWORK

Three introductions a month, to someone who can pay you, hire you, or move your company forward. Made by hand, from what you told me on your card. Free entry to every room I run. $200 a month, and the first 25 members hold that rate for as long as they stay.

Not sure yet? Take fifteen minutes with me and tell me what you need. If I do not think I can route it, I will say so rather than take the money.

KNOW SOMEONE WHO SHOULD BE AT THIS TABLE

Forward this to them, or send them the front door, where the card, the map and the Private Network all sit one click apart.
