CFDA And PVH Corp. Release “State Of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion In Fashion” Report
Research aims to move fashion industry toward a more representative and equitable workforce in the American fashion industry.
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) unveiled today the
State of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Fashion report, a definitive work of research and suggested next steps for the American fashion industry to be more representative and equitable in its workforce, talent pipeline and consumer base.
Today, the latest effort from The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) to encourage sustainable change across the fashion industry has officially launched.
Earlier this week, the CFDA announced its new initiative IMPACT will introduce a talent directory powered by Creatively. The contemporary job platform will connect its 450-plus members, fashion adjacent companies, fashion institutions and nonprofit and university partners to a network of industry insider experiences. “We did a study called the State of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion in Fashion with PVH and McKinsey,” CFDA President CaSandra Diggs tells ESSENCE. “Through that we learned from many of the respondents that there’s a lot of barriers to entry into the industry, one of those being awareness and access to opportunity.” From full and part time jobs to paid internships, CFDA’s latest project was designed with the likes to create a more inclusive job finding regime when entering the fashion industry.
