CaSandra Diggs, President, CFDA

“We are now prioritizing the transformation of our industry to bring an end to racial injustice within it. We are extremely appreciative of our longstanding partnership with AAFA and the invaluable resource you bring to our community.”

“... You have proven time and time again that fashion can be a catalyst for social activism and political change....we all must be resilient right now.”

Kenneth Cole

“I thank the AAFA for this award. It’s at moments like this I’m reminded that fashion is what we do … it’s not who we are. Fashion can be a powerful means to a more meaningful end; it is a way to represent ourselves every day to the world, and it’s also encourages and celebrates the acceptable social and ethical standards by which we do it.”
