Today, we are announcing the creation of A Common Thread: CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund for COVID-19 Relief, which is repurposing the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund was originally established as a response to the tragedy that took place on 9/11. Now, as we are all faced with new challenges, it is being repurposed—in addition to raising and distributing funds to those who have been most affected—to tell the stories of those who work tirelessly behind the scenes across the country in our incredibly strong and vibrant fashion industry. Applications will be available on the @CFDA website beginning on Wednesday, April 8 (and the fund is not limited to former Fashion Fund participants or members of the CFDA).
