SLFF Partners with CFDA

The democratization of American fashion is getting an added jolt thanks to the introduction of the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s new Connects programming network that supports regional fashion weeks and organizations.

Susan Sherman, cofounder of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, noted how St. Louis has “a long and storied fashion history.” She said, “We very much look forward to sharing that history as well as amplifying the work of over 100 emerging brands and fashion businesses, who call St. Louis home and contribute to $3.3 billion in the economic development for the city.”

Sherman said, “We are thrilled to have a seat at the table with other regional organizations as well as the CFDA in New York, as we all embark on what the next chapter of American design will look like.”
