The CFDA established the new (by-invitation, temporary three-year) Interim tier of membership in 2022 to create meaningful support for designers who have been in business less than five years as a pipeline to CFDA membership.  In addition to access to full Member benefits, this group is provided with unique opportunities, resources, introductions and one-on-one mentorship based on need and goals.

“The CFDA is proud to welcome this exceptionally talented group of designers to the organization. In the short time that each has been in business, they have shown great promise for a long and successful career ahead.  We will work together to assure that they have a solid framework and network in place to support the future growth of their businesses,” said Lisa Smilor, Executive Vice President.

The designer additions bring the total CFDA Membership to 474.
