“Nothing makes us happier or prouder to have some of our best and brightest designers shining on the world stage at Americans in Paris,” Mark Holgate, Global Network Lead & US Fashion Features Director of Vogue. “And to have some of this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists makes it doubly wonderful. We’re in a season of major transformation for fashion—and our Americans in Paris are part of that change.”

“Instagram is thrilled to continue our support of this incredible initiative, which empowers the brightest new names in American fashion to grow their voices and businesses on a global stage,” Eva Chen, Vice President of Fashion Partnerships at Instagram, said.
