Nordstrom, Friends of the CFDA and Vogue100 Celebrate Secure The SPACE

June 13, 2025

It was a perfect New York summer morning on Thursday when Friends of the CFDA, Vogue100 and past Fashion Fund designers joined Nordstrom at an intimate breakfast and shopping event to celebrate the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists. Guests had the opportunity to directly place orders with this year’s talents at a stunning indoor-outdoor space at the Greenwich Hotel .

They also participated in a mini challenge, Secure the SPACE, pitching their collections to Nordstrom’s Sam Lobban, Rickie De Sole, Jian DeLeon, and Joyce Lin with the hopes of being picked up by the retailer.

Ashlynn Park of ASHLYN was selected as this year’s winner and her collection will be carried at select Nordstrom stores in the upcoming year.

Nordstrom has been supporter of the Fashion Fund since 2006 and a longstanding champion of emerging talent. SPACE at Nordstrom was created in 2015 with the mission to provide a platform for up-and-coming talent while providing an experiential shopping destination for customers.

Congrats, Ashlynn!
