Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has launched a new multi-faceted initiative, inspired by the Black Lives Matter Movement. The new initiative IMPACT will create opportunities for historically underrepresented and unsupported communities in fashion. IMPACT will identify, connect, support, and nurture Black and Brown creatives and professionals in fashion, furthering CFDA’s mission to advance American fashion by including diverse talent in every facet of the industry’s ecosystem.

CFDA will launch IMPACT with a talent directory powered by Creatively, the job platforms for creatives on 26 February.
