Fashion 4 Development is introducing a range of new initiatives despite the economic uncertainty throughout the world.
While many in the fashion community are trying to ride out the tidal wave of upheaval brought on by the coronavirus, Fashion 4 Development is working on several initiatives.
Hoping that the current cancel-everything culture will have eased by the fall, Evangelou said the plan is to have the event during what is to be the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. F4D plans to bring together leaders in fashion with representatives from the U.N. and various government officials to discuss issues related to sustainability.
Evangelou continued, “We all know what we need to do environmentally and for human rights as well. It’s time to come together in a really organized manner. The goal is to present ideas and ways that governments and manufacturers can work together to improve sustainability throughout the supply chain. The world really can do better. This is an opportunity to reach the governments.”
The new initiative with AFF spotlights three African designers — fashion ones Torlowei and Ophelia Crossland, and milliner and accessories designer Velma. The social impact project is twofold, with one part being broadening distribution and the other being empowering indigenous women.
