CFDA jewelry and eyewear designers came together for the first time yesterday to kick off the now combined CFDA Accessories Showcase at Samsung 837. The space, flooded with natural light, provided an intimate setting for designers to display their work and engage with editors and buyers, as well as each other.

The event aims to create a strong platform for accessory makers and to foster an overall sense of community. As eyewear designer and CFDA Member Christian Roth summarized, “Together we are stronger, we benefit each other, we are a big family.”

The excitement in the room was palpable. The designers were eager to engage in conversations about their brand and the overall industry. CFDA Board Member Mimi So described the day as a celebration. “[The Showcase] is so meaningful for an industry that is just growing rapidly,” she said. And indeed it is on the rise. The CFDA has more jewelry and eyewear designers than ever with a total of 82 jewelry and 15 eyewear members…and counting.
