The CFDA has added 40 new names to its roster of top American talent. Last week, the CFDA Board of Directors ratified the addition of the designers to its Membership.
“The CFDA received a record number of applications for membership this year,” said Lisa Smilor, Executive Vice President of the CFDA. “The 40 new Members continue to extend the range of CFDA talent in categories from jewelry to footwear, lingerie and millinery in addition to apparel.”
CFDA Board Member Tory Burch will host the New Members Party at her home in the fall.
Additionally, the Board voted to extend Diane von Furstenberg’s role as Chairwoman of the CFDA through 2018.
CFDA President and CEO Steven Kolb said: “The Board’s unanimous decision to ask Diane to stay on as Chairwoman is a further testament to the unprecedented growth the CFDA has experienced under her leadership. The additional two years allow her to continue to strengthen the board and organization as a whole.”
