From Taylor Swift’s Showgirl hairbrush to Rolling Stone’s iconic tongue-out t-shirts, band merch has always been a major pop culture fixture. Join us on 11/14 at 5pm as we listen to writer, fashionista, and pop obsessive Nicole Tremaglio deliver a deep dive into the world of music merchandising. Come dressed in your favorite band tee and stay for the post-show Q&A with our speaker!
