To apply for Membership, candidates must be of recognized ability, standing and integrity, and actively engaged in designing, producing and selling collections of exemplary creativity and quality. The admissions process takes place annually. Applications are reviewed by a specially appointed admissions committee, which presents its recommendations to the Board of Directors for ratification; candidates are then officially elected as Members by a majority vote of the CFDA membership.
