With uncertainty around the new presidential administration’s plans for the environment, fashion can play a pro-active role and incorporate positive measures to minimize the impact on planet Earth. At the CFDA, we take sustainable design principles and innovative ways to incorporate them very seriously. The CFDA/Lexus Fashion* Initiative, which culminates with the winners’ announcement in April, is all about sustainability. Designers can transform the future of fashion, and we look forward to seeing more of these kinds of practices in 2017.
