The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced this week that applications for the 2022 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund are now open.

Available on CFDA.com, applications are open through March 16, with winners expected to be announced on April 21. 

As part of the program, the 2022 CVFF class will once again include 10 finalists. Each selected designer will automatically receive funds and mentorship based on their designated areas of need with the aim to nurture, support, and empower the talent.

The Fashion Fund’s selection committee includes the likes of Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour, fashion news director Mark Holgate, and Vogue.com editor Chioma Nnadi, alongside Brother Vellies and 15% Pledge founder Aurora James, and CFDA’s CEO Steven Kolb, among others.

First founded in 2003, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund aims to support emerging designers and encourage the development of talent in the U.S. fashion industry. The fund has launched major American fashion names like Proenza Schouler and Altuzarra, to name a few.
