Cali & Dana announce the next AAPI Creatives & Entrepreneurs pop-up will be held on June 25 and 26 at Industry City in Brooklyn. The brand is a co-founder and proud supporter of the collective helping local Asian artists and small businesses promote their work to broader communities via pop-up events and social media.

The two-day event will showcase a collection of fashion, accessories, home and living, food and beverage, health and beauty, and arts and crafts. Attendance is estimated to be over 1,500 engaged consumers looking for unique goods from vendors and artists, supporting marginalized businesses across different industries.

Cali & Dana, designers of denim for curvy petite women 5’3” and under, is a disruptive, design-forward brand that will exhibit its apparel at the AC*E event, proudly supporting the collective’s endeavors to reach out to more consumers and identify Asian owned brands that bring diversity to the creative industry. Founders Choua Vang, Ali Diallo and Dana Hibbard-Herrera came together to start the brand influenced by their own heritages.

Vang is from Thailand and Hibbard-Herrera comes from South Korea. Co-founding AC*E has special meaning, inspiring them to use their business and marketing skills to help other Asian creatives gain recognition for their offerings.

“Our brand is an example of the type of vendors that benefit from what AC*E offers,” said Vang. “These efforts help us make our own dreams come true while being ever-mindful to provide a similar space for other Asian creatives and entrepreneurs to share their craft with consumers. We love the tremendous positive energy at the AC*E pop-ups and the community we’ve helped create.”

The Cali & Dana design philosophy focuses on designing suitable fit options mindful of slow fashion with an eye on sustainability, featuring fabric made from recycled polyester for all of their denim.
