A Fashion Week Note from Diane von Furstenberg and Steven Kolb

January 27, 2016

Dear Friends,

New York is the most diverse city in the world, and the New York runways reflect this more and more. With NYFW: Men’s and Women’s upon us, we’d like to remind you to keep celebrating that diversity. More information to support the initiative can be found here.

We would also like to highlight the CFDA’s Health Initiative and its guidelines. The models’ well-being is paramount – beauty is health and health is beauty.

Finally, NYFW represents us as the family of American designers. For those designers showing this season, please be considerate and to start your runway shows and presentations close to schedule, and be mindful  when sharing models to avoid conflicts that could cause delays. We wish you a great fashion week.

Love,

Diane von Furstenberg and Steven Kolb
