International Women’s Day may only be one day, but in the fashion industry we celebrate influential, powerful, creative women every day. This year, CFDA.com is highlighting what our friends at Spring have done to honor these women.
Spring invited the female founders of over 30 amazing brands (many of whom are CFDA Members) to tell real stories about what they’ve learned as they’ve built their empires. From Rebecca Minkoff, Lela Rose, Eileen Fisher and Tanya Taylor, designers share what it takes and some of the hurdles they faced getting off the ground.
Partnering with the charity I AM THAT GIRL, Spring hopes these powerful messages inspire their followers to donate with with every dollar fully matched by Spring. I AM THAT GIRL provides girls with a supportive community of other girls with shared values, as well as leadership tools and mentorship that address emotional, mental and physical well-being. I AM THAT GIRL creates an honest environment and can serve as a reminder for anyone to love exactly who they are.
