Franklin Showroom operates as a showroom and strategic partner for fashion designers, blending brand sales with development guidance to help brands grow sustainably. It brings hands-on industry expertise to support scaling and nurturing of purpose-driven businesses, extending beyond a traditional showroom model. The company connects designer collections with a global retailer network, presenting lines to buyers at neighborhood boutiques, department stores, and online fashion platforms. Rooted in the retail apparel and fashion industry, Franklin Showroom positions itself as a holistic growth partner rather than a pure intermediary. Based in New York City, the firm traces its origins to Steven Alan and opened more than 25 years ago in Tribeca, later rebranding in 2017 to Franklin Showroom. It currently operates from New York's West Village and Downtown Los Angeles, under the leadership of Samantha Smith and an experienced team.
