I’m pleased to share the CFDA’s 2025 Annual Report, highlighting a year of strong progress, meaningful impact, and continued investment in the future of American fashion.

The report highlights the breadth of our work across New York Fashion Week, scholarships, professional development, sustainability, partnerships, Member engagement, and the CFDA Fashion Awards. It also underscores the strength of our financial position, with 2025 marking the organization’s strongest financial year to date.

None of this would be possible without the support of our Members, partners, donors, volunteers, and friends. Thank you for helping us champion American fashion.

2026 has been equally as strong and we hope you stay in touch via our newsletters and social channels.

With gratitude,

Steven Kolb
CEO & President
Council of Fashion Designers of America
