exhibían de forma endogámica
Las ciudades se actualizan y cada vez es más frecuente ver iniciativas insólitas recorriendo las calles. Y es que el dicho ‘renovarse o morir’ ha llegado, más que nunca, a oídos de los pequeños empresarios con apetito de convertirse por un día en auténticos protagonistas. Los desfiles de comerciantes ganan terreno con la intención de llevar a escena sus mejores productos.
Parece que no hay mejor iniciativa contra la crisis que un impulso fashion. Los comercios siempre han estado en contacto con las pasarelas, pero a diferencia de que antes se **exhibían de forma endogámica**, ahora se suben a la pasarela luciendo sus mejores galas para la colectividad, ganando en eficacia, impacto y espectacularidad.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

One of the meanings of "endogamic" is only marrying within one's own tribe, so I think this refers to each fashion designer showing his/her collection separately

Before the twentieth century, the majority of marriages were parochially endogamous, i.e. between people from the same parish. ...
