The CFDA has partnered with Macy’s to launch a new series of programming focused on strengthening connections between designers and retailers. Rooted in a shared commitment to professional development, the partnership aims to create greater transparency and open dialogue across the American fashion industry.

As part of this initiative, CFDA is sharing A New Era of Retail, a webinar designed to give designers clearer insight into today’s evolving retail landscape and how to build strong, lasting relationships within it.

Offering an inside perspective from one of America’s leading retailers, the conversation features Harmony Leister, Senior Director of Trend Merchandising & Forecasting; Cynthia Kiang, Vice President of Merchandising Strategy; and Andrea Port, Senior Director of Marketing, Social and Influencers. Together, they share insights into the forces shaping retail today and what designers need to know to navigate what comes next.
