The Materials Hub, created by the CFDA in partnership with UGG®, is an open-access resource dedicated to assisting the fashion industry in discovering and connecting with key innovators, vendors, and resources across fashion’s global material sourcing community.

The Materials Hub extends the CFDA’s decade-plus commitment to design-centered sustainability initiatives and is a natural extension to the CFDA.com Sustainability Resource Hub.

Focusing on one critical area of the supply chain necessary to shift into more responsible practices/ material sourcing, the Hub not only aggregates resources, but also promotes collaboration between designer and innovator, helps designers blueprint avenues to strengthen their impact, provides practical information from diverse voices, and continues to provide educational and professional development opportunities for all.

Explore the Materials Hub, including the Innovation Index, Vendor Directory, Resource Center and Related News below. The Hub will be continuously updated with new resources and evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of our designers.
